Business Associations Welcome Federal Data Privacy Legislation

Washington - Today, a broad cross-section of business associations issued the following statement on H.R. 8413, the SECURE Data Act :

"We welcome the introduction of comprehensive legislation that would establish a single national privacy standard, building upon state privacy frameworks with proven, strong consumer protections developed on a bipartisan basis. A clear nationwide standard would strengthen trust, help individuals exercise meaningful control over their information, and give businesses the certainty needed to innovate, protect data, and drive growth. The bill would end a confusing patchwork that harms consumers and small businesses.

"The business community thanks Chairman Guthrie, Vice Chairman Joyce, and the members of the data privacy working group for their leadership on this critical issue. We will continue collaborating with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle and the Administration as this essential legislation moves forward."
