ITI Responds to Progress on Federal Privacy Legislation
WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association ITI issued the following statement on the release of a discussion draft bill on federal privacy legislation from Reps. Pallone (D-NJ) and McMorris Rodgers (R-WA.) and Sen. Wicker (R-MS):
“We appreciate the bipartisan momentum in the U.S. Congress to advance U.S. privacy protections and look forward to reviewing the specifics of the draft bill released today,” said ITI President and CEO Jason Oxman. “For years, ITI has urged U.S. policymakers to enact a comprehensive federal privacy law that builds mutual trust, protects consumers, and supports continued innovation, and we will evaluate the bill with those objectives in mind.”
ITI published the Framework to Advance Interoperable Rules (FAIR) on Privacy (opens in a new tab), a legislative roadmap that advances the privacy rights of consumers and defines the responsibilities of companies in using personal data while continuing to enable the innovations that transform our lives. Earlier this year, ITI named passage of federal privacy legislation as a key action U.S. policymakers can take to promote and expand U.S. economic growth and global leadership in Technology’s Role in Driving U.S. Competitiveness: ITI’s Action Plan for 2022 (opens in a new tab).
