REGULATORY UPDATE: FL AND TX PASS COMPREHENSIVE CONSUMER DATA PRIVACY BILLS, WA
SIGNS ‘MY HEALTH MY DATA ACT’ — MAY 2023 NEWSLETTER

DeleteMe
May 31, 2023
 * Business Privacy and Security



In the first two weeks of May:

 * Florida passed Senate Bill 262, the Florida Digital Bill of Rights.
 * The Texas Senate approved HB 4, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act.
 * Washington State Governor Inslee signed the My Health, My Data Act into law.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


FLORIDA, TEXAS AND WASHINGTON ALL PASS CONSUMER PRIVACY BILLS

The Washington law is particularly notable. It includes broad definitions of
covered entities and sensitive data types, as well as a strong private right of
action. The combination of these features may make it the most significant new
privacy law in the country. 

Washington State now joins Iowa, Indiana, and Tennessee, who have all signed new
privacy legislation into law this year. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah,
and Virginia have passed similar laws in the past few years. The Montana
legislature also passed a comprehensive privacy law in April.


OUR TAKE: 

Washington’s My Health, My Data Act is likely to be a significant source of
concern for many companies. The Act is similar to Illinois’ Biometric
Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which has led to billions of dollars lost in
class action settlements over the last few years, but imposes more operationally
challenging obligations and has fewer limitations on applicability.

CYBERSECURITY UPDATE: MUNICIPAL AGENCIES, HEALTHCARE NETWORKS UNDER FIRE

Cybersecurity researchers are pointing to a growing trend of ransomware
attackers targeting municipalities. Since the beginning of 2023, there have been
major disruptions in Oakland, CA, Dallas, TX, and Washington, DC, as well as
smaller cities like Lowell, MA, and the suburbs of Detroit, MI. This month also
saw attacks on the Federal Department of Transportation and the DC Metro system,
highlighting growing cyber risks to public infrastructure.

The healthcare sector has also become the exclusive target of some
well-resourced ransomware groups like CLOP and LockBit. Attacks in this sector
peaked at a record high in April. A recent breach of PharMerica, a pharmacy
services provider, is one of the largest this year so far, exposing the data of
over six million patients.


OUR TAKE: 

With large ransomware payouts in decline, Russian cyber gangs appear to be
dividing efforts between “disruption for disruption’s sake” and exfiltrating the
most lucrative, sellable data. The public sector is ideal for the former and the
healthcare industry for the latter.

WORKFORCE SURVEILLANCE RECEIVING GREATER FEDERAL SCRUTINY

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released a public
request for information on employer use of workforce monitoring technologies.
This is usually an early indication of forthcoming policy proposals.

Recent research indicates that even though pandemic-driven remote work
opportunities have decreased, the use of employee surveillance tools has grown
since 2021. The types of technologies used have also become more invasive.


OUR TAKE

Few new state privacy laws (other than the CCPA) have included employee data
protections so far. Still, it’s possible that workforce surveillance – like
Children’s  Data, Health Data, and Location Data – may become an area where the
FTC applies broader interpretations of its own regulatory mandate in the near
future.
