Relative to the expectation of privacy in personal information...
Relative to the expectation of privacy in personal information maintained by the state.
HB522 was a bill introduced in January 2025 to address the privacy expectations of personal information held by the state. The bill aimed to clarify and potentially strengthen privacy protections for citizens' personal data managed by state agencies. It would have affected anyone whose personal data is collected and stored by state entities.
The bill passed through several stages in the legislative process, including a report from the House Judiciary Committee that recommended its passage with an amendment. However, after being referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, the bill was deemed "inexpedient to legislate" and was ultimately killed in May 2025. This means that the bill did not progress any further in the legislative process and was not enacted into law.
Key actions in the legislative history included the bill's introduction, committee reviews, and amendments, followed by the Senate's decision to halt its progress, citing it as not suitable for legislation. The bill's journey ended with a final decision in the Senate that it would not move forward.
