Vermont: Data privacy bill referred to House Committee on Commerce and Economic Development
The bill for An Act Relating to Data Privacy and Consumer Protection (S. 110) ('the Bill') was referred, on 26 March 2019, to the Vermont House of Representatives' ('the House') Committee on Commerce and Economic Development, following its approval by the Vermont Senate on 21 March 2019. In particular, the Bill would amend the definition of 'personally identifiable information' under §2430(5)(A) of Subchapter 1, Chapter 62, Title 9 of the Vermont Statutes by adding to the definition biometric data, genetic information, health information, login credentials, including username or password, and passport number. In addition, the Bill would amend §2435(b)(6)(B) of the Vermont Statutes on substitute notice for data breaches, by, among other things, stating that such notice may be provided if the data collector can demonstrate that the cost of providing written, email, or telephonic notice would exceed $10,000.
Moreover, the Bill would introduce provisions relating to student privacy, which, among other things, prohibit operators from selling, renting or disclosing students' information, and using that data for targeted advertising purposes.
