The Ranking Member of the House of Representatives' Energy and Commerce Committee, Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) wants to call the American Data Privacy Protection Act (ADPPA) (H.R. 8152 ) a "landmark achievement" because, if enacted, it would be the United States' first comprehensive federal privacy law; it would be the product of an unusual bipartisan and bicameral Congressional effort; and it would usher in a new federal right to privacy for all U.S. citizens relating to their data regardless of their state of residency.
Data Rights, Data Duties, & Data Risks: The American Data Privacy and Protection Act
