The APRA would create a comprehensive federal consumer privacy framework. It builds on prior congressional efforts to enact a comprehensive privacy bill, most notably incorporating elements of the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) (H.R. 8152), which was advanced out of the House Energy & Commerce Committee during the 117th Congress (H.Rept. 117-669). The APRA has already evolved since its initial release. The House Energy & Commerce Committee unveiled an updated version (Updated House Draft) in advance of a markup on May 23, 2024, by the Innovation, Data, and Commerce Subcommittee. The Updated House Draft includes a new Title II amending the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). It also makes other changes, such as creating a centralized mechanism for individuals to request that data brokers delete their personal information and prohibiting covered entities from targeting advertisements to children under the age of 17. This Sidebar begins with a summary of the APRA, relying primarily on the joint draft released on April 7, 2024, but noting where the Updated House Draft differs from the original joint draft. The Sidebar also contains a discussion of how Title II of the Updated House Draft would amend COPPA and how that language compares with similar bills previously introduced in the 118th Congress. The Sidebar next compares the APRA to the ADPPA and other comprehensive privacy bills that have been introduced in Congress. The APRA borrows a substantial amount from the ADPPA but includes material differences, such as its treatment of small businesses, approach toward minors, and interaction with state laws, as well as its requirement for algorithmic opt-out rights and immediate availability of a private right of action. The Sidebar concludes by discussing stakeholders' reactions to the APRA and potential litigation that may arise should Congress enact the bill. Summary of the Bill Key Definitions The APRA's chief focus is governing how covered entities use covered data. Thus, these two definitions are central to the bill's scope. The APRA defines covered entities to include most individuals, Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov LSB11161 CRS Legal Sidebar Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress
