On June 24, 2025, Connecticut enacted Senate Bill 1295 (Public Act No. 25-113), the most significant amendments to the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA” or the “Act”) since the law took effect. The amendments meaningfully expand who must comply with the CTDPA, broaden the categories of regulated data, and impose heightened obligations in connection with profiling, automated decision-making, sensitive data, the personal data of individuals under 18, and privacy disclosures.
On April 22, 2026, Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY), chairman of the House Committee on Energy & Commerce, and Rep. John Joyce (R-Pa.), leader of the Energy and Commerce Data Privacy Working Group and chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, introduced HR 8413, the Securing and Establishing Consumer Uniform Rights and Enforcement Over Data Act (the “SECURE Data Act”).
