2024 in US state privacy law: A retrospective with Keir Lamont and David Stauss

The year 2024 proved to be another robust one for emerging U.S. state privacy law. Seven states joined the ranks, bringing the total up to 19.   Unlike previous years, however, 2024 underwent a paradigm shift away from the standard framework influenced by the draft Washington State Privacy Act. For the Future of Privacy Forum's Keir Lamont, CIPP/US, and Husch Blackwell's David Stauss, CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPT, FIP, PLS, 2024 marked the end of what Lamont calls the "Pax Washingtonia" era for state privacy law.   While attending the IAPP Privacy. Security. Risk. conference in Los Angeles, California, IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy caught up with Lamont and Stauss to discuss this busy year in state privacy law, as well as what to expect with rulemaking and enforcement at the state level.
