The article discusses the anticipated developments in state privacy laws, particularly in 2025, where states are likely to enact laws inspired by the Washington Privacy Act. While some states like Maryland are setting higher standards, the article emphasizes the need for stronger legislation, especially concerning the private right of action (PRA). The lack of PRA makes it difficult for consumers to hold companies accountable for privacy violations. The article also mentions California's Information Practices Act (IPA) as a historical example, illustrating ongoing gaps in privacy protections.
Without a private right of action, companies are often not held accountable for privacy violations, which leaves consumers vulnerable and powerless in seeking recourse.
States are expected to enact more privacy laws based on the Washington Privacy Act model, addressing areas where federal laws may be weakened by business pressure.
