Washington –The Computer & Communications Industry Association submitted comments reiterating its concerns regarding the proposed enforcement language for the Colorado Privacy Act. CCIA thanked Colorado for its ongoing consideration of the Association’s concerns and for incorporating earlier recommendations to clarify compliance language within the new law. Additionally, further suggestions were made to ensure the law is feasible ahead of implementation.
CCIA has previously testified on the passage and implementation of the Colorado Privacy Act. With 50 years of advocating for policies that foster a competitive U.S. tech industry, CCIA also supports the enactment of baseline federal privacy legislation.
The following can be attributed to CCIA State Policy Manager Jordan Rodell:
“We appreciate Colorado’s collaboration with stakeholders to clarify definitions, the scope of the law, and which entities are covered. Companies working to comply with Colorado’s Privacy Act will need ongoing guidance from the state. Timely responses to inquiries about the regulation, as well as clarification on how future court rulings may impact its implementation, will be essential, especially as more states pass privacy laws. CCIA advocates for a unified approach to privacy regulation to avoid a 50-state patchwork that burdens businesses, large and small. We offered suggestions to clarify areas that we anticipate could be problematic or confusing.”
