States Will Be the Battlegrounds for 2020 Tech Policy Fights
Axios, January 2, 2020
By Kim Hart and Margaret Harding McGill
The tech industry's most consequential policy fights in 2020 will play out in the states, not Washington. Momentum on a range of tech issues, from governing online privacy to regulating the gig economy, has stalled in DC as impeachment and election campaigns consume attention. State leaders and legislators are stepping in to fill the void.
Some trade groups are beefing up their state operations. BSA | The Software Alliance, which counts Microsoft and IBM among its members, is launching its first state program in 2020, said Craig Albright, vice president of legislative strategy for the group. BSA will hire a director of state advocacy who is expected to be active wherever state privacy efforts heat up, including in California and New York, Albright said. "We can’t ignore the fact that states are going to be moving forward with legislation," Albright said.
