Dear Chairman Guthrie, Ranking Member Pallone, Chairman Bilirakis, and Ranking Member Schakowsky:
The undersigned state and local chambers of commerce write to express support for H.R. 8413, the “SECURE Data Act,” and urge the House Committee on Energy and Commerce to advance this legislation.
The SECURE Data Act would establish a single national privacy standard with robust consumer protections that builds upon a strong framework already adopted in 20 states. Those protections include data minimization and sensitive data requirements, as well as access deletion, correction, and opt-out rights. Importantly, this legislation will also help small businesses who are disproportionately impacted by the regulatory confusion caused by a patchwork of state privacy laws.
For these reasons, the undersigned organizations support enactment of a single national privacy standard that protects consumers and provides a workable compliance framework for businesses of all sizes. We respectfully urge you to advance the SECURE Data Act.
Sincerely,
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
