Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz recently signed into law HF 4757, the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act, making Minnesota the 18th state to enact a comprehensive consumer data privacy law. The Act will go into effect July 31, 2025.
There were a number of consumer data privacy bills in play during the state’s legislative session that never made it to the finish line. Ultimately, the Act hitched a ride in a bill related to appropriations, cannabis policy, and commerce policy.
Minnesota joins the following states to have enacted privacy laws: California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, Connecticut, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Montana, Texas, Oregon, Delaware, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Maryland.
