On April 17, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed into law a bill that will extend privacy rights to individuals’ neural data. Although certain states have enacted privacy laws that include protection of sensitive and biometric data, Colorado’s law is the first that explicitly addresses neural data.
It’s only April, but 2023 has already been a big year for new and evolving data privacy legislation. In January, the California Privacy Rights Act took effect, expanding and clarifying the rights and obligations within the California Consumer Privacy Act. In addition, exceptions for business-to-business and employee and applicant data expired, ushering in new requirements and broadening the reach of the California laws. At the same time, the second major state data privacy law – the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act – took full effect.
