In 2019, both the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce held hearings on protecting consumer privacy. And in the last few months, Members of Congress have introduced four consumer privacy bills and circulated discussion drafts of two additional proposals: * H.R. 4978, the Online Privacv Ac of 2019, introduced by Representatives Anna Eshoo and Zoe Lofgren on November 5, 2019; * The United States Consumer Data Privacy Act of 2019 (U SCDPA Draft), a discussion draft circulated by Senator Roger Wicker on November 27, 2019; * S. 2968, the Consumer Online Privacy Rights Act, introduced by Senators Maria Cantwell, Brian Schatz, Amy Klobuchar, and Ed Markey on December 3, 2019; * An untitled December 18, 2019, discussion draft (E&C Draft) from the House Energy and Commerce Committee, spearheaded by Representatives Cathy McMorris-Rodgers and Jan Schakowsky; S.... 3300, the Data Protection Act of 2020, introduced by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand on February 13, 2020; and * S. 3456, the Consumer Data Privacy and Security Act of 2020, introduced by Senator Jerry Moran on March 12, 2020. Five of the six proposals-H.R. 4978, S. 2968, S. 3456, and the two discussion drafts-take similar approaches. Although details vary somewhat from bill to bill, each regulates the use of personal information by: (1) recognizing individuals' rights to control their personal information; (2) requiring a defined class of entities to take steps to respect those rights; and (3) creating procedures to enforce those requirements. The five proposals differ, however, in three key respects: (1) which federal agency would have enforcement power; (2) whether to preempt state privacy laws; and (3) whether to provide a private right of action. The sixth bill, S. 3300, takes a different approach: it would create a new agency vested Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov LSB10441 CRS LegA!
