AAF Legislative Comments & Testimony

Opposition to Oregon SB 619
6/22/2023 
As presently drafted, SB 619 contains provisions that are out-of-step with privacy laws in other states. Below we identify areas where harmonizing the bill with other existing state privacy laws would benefit consumers and businesses.
Letter to the FTC Regarding Business Practices of Cloud Computing Providers
6/21/2023 
The comments below explain why this flexible, risk-based approach works well in the cloud computing industry by encouraging competition and allowing entities of all sizes to access data security infrastructure that fits their own needs.
Opposition to Delaware HB 154
6/21/2023 
As presently drafted, HB 154 contains provisions that are out-of-step with privacy laws in every other state that has enacted privacy legislation to date.
Opposition to Louisiana SB 162
6/1/2023 
As presently drafted, SB 162 raises significant First Amendment concerns for Louisiana minors and businesses alike, and it would also have negative effects on Louisiana minors by limiting the content and information available to them.
Opposition to New York S365A and A7423
5/31/2023 
We offer this letter to express our non-exhaustive list of concerns about this overly restrictive legislation, as well as the potential harms it presents to consumers and the New York economy.
Opposition to Wyoming Data Privacy Act Private Right of Action

We write to oppose the inclusion of a “private civil action” enforcement mechanism in the “Wyoming data privacy act,” as suggested by the Data Privacy Bill Draft Outline related to this potential legislation.
Opposition to Connecticut SB 1058
5/16/2023 
We write to oppose SB 1058’s proposal to make “precise geolocation data” personal information subject to Connecticut’s breach notification statute.
Opposition to Florida SB 262 Engrossed Amendment 703943-Senate
5/3/2023 
We write to respectfully ask you to reject SB 262 in its current form. The bill, as amended would make Florida’s approach to privacy requirements even more of an outlier than it presently is in comparison to other state privacy laws.
Opposition to Florida SB 262 Engrossed Amendment 703943-House
5/3/2023 
We write to respectfully ask you to reject SB 262 in its current form. The bill, as amended would make Florida’s approach to privacy requirements even more of an outlier than it presently is in comparison to other state privacy laws.
Opposition to New York S365
4/24/2023 
New York S365 represents an approach to privacy that is entirely novel and disharmonized with every other state that has passed privacy legislation to date.
