Maryland’s legislature passed consumer privacy bill SB 541 (the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA)), putting it on track to become the nation’s 15th comprehensive state privacy law (if you count the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, then it will be the 16th). The bill now heads to Maryland’s Governor Wes Moore for his review.

MODPA includes some distinctive requirements and obligations for controllers compared to other enacted U.S. state laws, such as for data minimization, sensitive data, and minors’ data privacy. MODPA also adopts and builds upon certain provisions, including health data-related provisions, from the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Colorado Consumer Privacy Act, Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act, Oregon Consumer Data Privacy Act, and more.
