Legislative Round-Up | March 2024

of the bill – Senators Bill Hagerty (R-TN) and John Hickenlooper (D-CO). A key takeaway of Capitol Hill Day was that on December 31, 2025, in 21 months, $3 Trillion of tax provisions enacted in 2017 are up for renewal. This makes the point about the importance of adding additional cosponsors to the Charitable Act as this important date approaches!

Although comprehensive national privacy legislation is not likely to be taken up this year, several of the meetings addressed this issue. Specifically, national privacy legislation was raised in the meeting with the staff of Senator Ted Budd (R-NC), as well as in the meeting with Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV). Importantly, both Senators Budd and Rosen serve on the Senate Commerce Committee, the principal committee of jurisdiction for privacy legislation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) policy was raised in the meetings with the offices of Senators Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Chris Coons (D-DE). Senator Heinrich is the Co-Chair of the Senate AI Caucus, while Senator Coons also serves as a member of this caucus. TNPA will continue building bridges with congressional offices active on the AI front as Congress continues formulating AI policy.

Update on New Jersey’s Daniel’s Law

On Friday, February 23, 2024, TNPA issued an alert on this recently amended New Jersey (NJ) law.  Click here to view that Alert.

At last count, over 140 individual lawsuits were filed. To our knowledge, no nonprofits are among the defendants; partner data companies, however, are.

TNPA has reviewed draft amending language, which appears to solve much, if not all, of the law’s overbroad reach. Should legislators be persuaded to consider an amendment, TNPA is preparing some of our nonprofit members to present our views on the potential harm to our community. In a delicate policy matter such as this, the voices of nonprofits could be constructive. To weigh in on this issue, please contact Robert Tigner, rtigner@tnpa.org.

New Hampshire Privacy Statute

On March 6, New Hampshire (NH) Governor Chris Sununu signed the NH privacy statute into law. The statute does not cover nonprofits. This brings the number of states to fourteen, which have enacted their own state privacy statute. With the patchwork quilt of state privacy laws expanding and likely to continue to expand, the need for one national “Rules of the Road” legislation for the responsible use of data has never been greater. Unfortunately, as reported in this month’s Legislative Round Up and previous issues, comprehensive national privacy legislation will not likely be taken up this year. Accordingly, during last week’s Capitol Hill Day, it was important that TNPA had meetings in the offices of Senators Ted Budd (R-NC) and Jacky Rosen (D-NV), who both serve on the Senate Commerce Committee, the principal committee of jurisdiction for privacy legislation. TNPA continues to lay a foundation to build support for privacy legislation, which Congress could consider next year.
