Cybersecurity Policy Report, Wisconsin Lawmakers Fail to Pass Data Privacy Bill, (Apr 16, 2024)
Although receiving support in the Wisconsin state Assembly, the state Senate failed to pass a bill that sought to establish certain requirements to protect the personal data of consumers.
AB 466 would have established requirements for controllers and processors of personal data, and its provisions would have applied to controllers that controlled or processed the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers or that controlled or processed the personal data of at least 25,000 consumers and derived more than 50% of gross revenue from the sale of personal data.
The bill sought to provide consumers with certain rights regarding their personal data, including the right to confirm whether a controller was processing the consumer's personal data and to access the personal data; the right to correct inaccuracies in the consumer’s personal data; and the right to require a controller to delete a consumer’s personal data.
The bill was sponsored by Rep. Shannon Zimmerman (R.).
