Navigating the Wave of Privacy Legislation: 2023 State Data Privacy Laws

10/18/2018



In 2023, five states passed comprehensive consumer data privacy laws: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia. These laws have several provisions in common, such as: 

  • The right to access and delete personal information

  • The right to opt out of the sale of personal information

The laws reflect the influence of the GDPR's rights-based philosophical framework, according to Bloomberg's Law. They are intended to protect consumers from cyber risks and stay competitive with international data. 

The laws came online throughout the year: 

  • Virginia: Law is effective and enforceable on January 1, 2023

  • Colorado: Privacy Act (CPA) will go into effect on July 1, 2023

  • Connecticut: Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) will take effect on July 1, 2023

  • Utah: Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA) will go into effect on December 31, 2023

Other states have bills in progress or have introduced new legislation.
