This morning, the California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”) announced that Minnesota and New Hampshire have joined the Consortium of Privacy Regulators, a bipartisan initiative announced in April to implement and enforce state privacy laws across the country. With the addition of two new states, a total of ten different privacy regulators are now part of this nationwide collaboration.

“We’re entering a new era of enforcement as state privacy laws continue to harmonize and expand.” – Michael Macko, head of enforcement at the CPPA.

This expansion comes shortly after the CPPA announced a joint investigative sweep focused on compliance with consumer requests to opt out of the sale of personal information in collaboration with the Attorneys General of California, Colorado, and Connecticut – states that are also part of the Consortium.
