Session Time: Thur, May 7, 2026: 11:30 AM-12:30 PM
This session will discuss the latest state law regulatory, legislative, and enforcement developments and what it means for your organization. Among other topics:
- Several states have sought to address interpretive questions through online FAQs and enforcement reports. We will call your attention to key points and takeaways in guidance published over the past year, including on areas like data minimization, cookie management tools, dark patterns, and privacy notice disclosures.
- Active enforcement activity in a number of states sheds light on state enforcement priorities and some “do’s and “don’ts” if you are approached by a privacy regulator.
- There are several active state privacy rulemaking proceedings, including potential new rulemaking activity in California, which only just finished its rules on automated decision-making, cyber audits, and risk assessments.
- Trends in state privacy legislation from the 2026 legislative session shed light on what to expect for 2027 and beyond.
