\"TheThe Data Protection Act of 2020 is the most recent <\/span>federal bill<\/span><\/a> concerning issues of personal data privacy and security. Introduced by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, this bill establishes an independent federal Data Protection Agency, which will have the power to regulate the processing of personal data through defined \u201cFederal Privacy Laws.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the bill notes that \u201cin order to protect the privacy of the individuals, it is necessary and proper for Congress to regulate the collection, maintenance, use, processing, storage, and dissemination of information.\u201d The bill aims to accomplish these goals through the establishment of and granting specific powers to the independent federal Data Protection Agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

These specific powers include the ability of the Agency to commence a civil action against a \u201ccovered entity\u201d who violates a defined \u201cFederal privacy law,\u201d and to seek relief such as civil monetary penalties or equitable remedies, including injunctive relief for such violations. Civil monetary penalties for knowingly violating a Federal privacy law can be as high as $1 million for each day the violation continues. The money collected from successful enforcements by the Agency will be deposited into a \u201cRelief Fund,\u201d and made available to compensate those \u201caffected by an act or practice for which civil penalties have been obtained.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This legislation would not establish a comprehensive federal data privacy law in the same vein as GDPR or California\u2019s Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, the Data Protection Agency created by this bill could exist in tandem with, and enforce such a law.<\/span><\/p>\n

The chances of this bill becoming law this year are likely low, due to the fact that this is a presidential election year.<\/span><\/p>\n
