Ready, Set, Go: More States Adopt Privacy Laws

Ready, Set, Go: More States Adopt Privacy Laws

By: Nicole Kardell

Note the below chart was updated on March 21, 2024 to reflect recent developments.

If you blinked over the past couple of months, you may have missed it: the number of U.S. states that have adopted privacy laws has more than doubled. We are now up to 13 states (not including Nevada, which has a narrow privacy law on the books) with privacy frameworks. Fortunately, there seems to be quite a bit of cross over, at least when it comes to thresholds that companies must meet in order to trigger compliance requirements. We provide below a chart that summarizes those thresholds, including whether non-profits are exempted from compliance (a fairly common question we are asked).

We also encourage you to review periodically the IAPPs useful tracker on state-by-state developments.
