Utah’s action means that Iowa is now the only state without such a consumer right in its privacy statute, among the 20 states that have comprehensive laws.
Also that day, Cox signed HB-444, a governmental data privacy bill. The bill would modify requirements for privacy notices, including on government websites, adjust data breach notification requirements and make other changes to Utah law (see 2502280045).
In addition, the governor signed SB-226, which requires certain disclosures when generative AI is used in consumer transactions. Cox signed bills on app store age verification and teachers' privacy Wednesday (see 2503270047).
The age-verification law is the first in the country focused on app stores, SheppardMullin lawyers blogged Thursday. "While we anticipate that this law will be challenged, it signals that states are continuing their focus on laws relating to children in the digital space."
