FAQ
How many US states have comprehensive consumer privacy laws in this snapshot?+
This page's July 4, 2026 snapshot classifies 23 US states as having enacted comprehensive consumer-privacy laws. Enactment, effective date, scope, amendments, and enforcement authority are separate questions; check the applicable state text before relying on a count or legal conclusion.
What does "in cross chamber" mean for a privacy bill?+
Cross chamber means the bill has passed one legislative chamber (House or Senate) and moved to the other for consideration. It is a dated legislative-status label, not a prediction that a bill will become law; later votes, vetoes, amendments, or effective-date rules must be checked in the official state record.
Why do some states have both signed laws and bills in progress?+
IAPP’s tracker shows current legislative activity. A state like New Jersey (NJDPA signed) or Rhode Island (RIDTPPA signed) can also have additional bills in progress, amendments, narrower-scope bills, or supplementary protections. These additional bills are separate from the already-enacted law.
Which states are next to pass comprehensive privacy laws?+
A tracker snapshot cannot reliably predict which state will enact a law next. Use the status groups on this page for a dated overview, then check the relevant legislature, enacted text, effective date, and regulator guidance for the state and bill you care about.
What about states with inactive or no bills?+
7 states have previously-introduced bills that have stalled without advancing. 6 states have no comprehensive privacy bills introduced at all. Residents of these states still have consumer-protection and deceptive-practices statutes, plus cross-state CCPA opt-out rights against national brokers.
