On April 7, House Committee on Energy and Commerce
Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Senate
Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Chair
Maria Cantwell (D-WA) unveiled their bipartisan, bicameral
discussion draft of the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA
draft). Chair Rodgers’ and Chair Cantwell’s announcement of
the APRA draft surprised many congressional observers, after
comprehensive privacy legislation stalled in 2022.
