SIIA joins organizations in urging Congress to strengthen the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) ahead of its full Committee markup. The coalition emphasizes the need for a uniform national privacy standard, criticizing APRA for its inadequate federal preemption of state privacy laws. The letter argues that without full preemption, the legislation will contribute to the existing patchwork of state laws, causing confusion for consumers and hindering economic growth. The organizations advocate for a comprehensive federal data privacy law that fully preempts state laws to protect consumers and provide businesses with clarity on compliance.
