The Utah Consumer Privacy Act's phantom "data minimization" requirement (it appeared in a prior draft, was taken out, but the enacted law left it in the section header) is the state privacy legislation equivalent of a Paper Town. Here it is popping up in a recent North Carolina bill:

New details around comprehensive consumer privacy efforts in the 119th Congress today with the announcement of a Republican Data Privacy Work Group in House E&C.
Lawmakers highlight the importance of a national privacy framework to advancing U.S. global leadership in AI.
Check out this new comparison chart from me @baileysanchez.bsky.social and @keirlamont.bsky.social. We compare NYHIPA to two alternative frameworks—MHMD and the consumer health data protections in Connecticut's comprehensive privacy law.

The fifth state comprehensive privacy bill of 2025 is the Massachusetts Data Privacy Act (SB 267) - the proposal appears informed by the federal ADPPA and APRA bills and would constitute an entirely new framework for protecting consumer data in the US.

Fourth state with a comprehensive privacy bill in 2025 is Pennsylvania with the bipartisan HB 78.
