The House Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce held a June 14 hearing, “Protecting America’s Consumers: Bipartisan Legislation to Strengthen Data Privacy and Security,” to listen to testimony from consumer advocates and industry representatives on the recently proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA).

The bipartisan initiative faces new headwinds following June 22 remarks by Senate Commerce Chair Maria Cantwell (D-WA), who cited “major enforcement holes” in the legislation on preemption issues — but expressed hope that the sponsors could offer revisions.
