July 1, 2023, looks to be a privacy law milestone: it is the effective date of the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) and its final rules, as well as the Connecticut Data Privacy Act. Also on that date, administrative enforcement of the California Privacy Rights Act begins. We discuss the CPA’s similarities to and departures from other states’ privacy laws, changes from the draft rulemaking and the law’s business-friendly aspects, as highlighted by Husch Blackwell partner David Stauss during a firm webinar. See “Colorado Privacy Law Finishes Third, but Could Become the New Standard” (Jun. 23, 2021).
