Utah’s Industry-Friendly Privacy Bill Poised for Passage
POLITICO Morning Tech, March 7, 2022
By Brendan Bordelon
Utah is on track to become the fourth to pass comprehensive privacy legislation. But unlike some state privacy laws, SB227 faces strong skepticism from privacy groups and consumer advocates — while enjoying significant support from the tech industry.
Tom Foulkes, the head of state advocacy at BSA | The Software Alliance, praised the legislation in a statement on Friday. Foulkes said he’s happy the bill “clearly distinguishes” between companies that control consumer data versus companies that merely process that data, claiming the distinction will safeguard user privacy without creating “new security risks.”
