Connecticut Enacts Nation’s Fifth Comprehensive Consumer Data Privacy Law

The state of Connecticut recently enacted the nation’s fifth data privacy law (the Act) that establishes obligations for businesses in the state who process and manage consumer’s data and creates privacy standards for data controllers and processors.  The Act follows bills passed in Virginia, California, Colorado, and Utah.  The Act largely follows Virginia’s data privacy law, the VCDPA, with only a few variations. The Act will take effect on July 1, 2023, and effected entities must cure any violations of the Act before December 31, 2024.
