In April, House Committee on Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Chair Maria Cantwell (D-WA) introduced the American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 (APRA), a bicameral and bipartisan federal comprehensive privacy bill that would provide multiple governmental enforcement mechanisms, including for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general, as well as a private right of action for certain breaches of defined privacy rights. The draft APRA expands upon the American Data Privacy Protection Act (ADPPA), which was considered last Congress in 2022.
