BSA members have long advocated for a federal privacy law that protects consumers nationwide, and we recognize that states are leaders in protecting consumer privacy. We encourage you to focus on four goals for any data privacy legislation: 

• Adopt privacy protections that are interoperable with privacy laws in other states.
• Recognize the different roles of different companies that handle consumers’ personal data.
• Protect the privacy of consumers, without sweeping in employees.
• Provide strong, exclusive enforcement to the state attorney general.
