House panel to debate bipartisan comprehensive data privacy bill
A House panel will debate a bill that would set national standards for how companies obtain and manage data on Thursday.
The bipartisan bill, known as the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, was formally introduced in the House Wednesday by Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), committee ranking member Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.).
The Energy and Commerce consumer protection subcommittee will hold a markup on the data privacy bill, along with seven others.
The comprehensive data privacy bill would also require companies to provide individuals with clear ways to opt out of targeted advertising. It would put in place additional requirements for kids’ data, including banning companies from using targeted advertising for all minors and from transferring covered data for users 13 to 17 to third parties without user consent.
