Columbus, OH – Logan Kolas, an economic policy analyst at The Buckeye Institute, issued the following statement after the Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 376, the Ohio Personal Privacy Act. The bill now moves to the Ohio Senate for consideration.
“While Washington has abdicated its responsibility on data privacy, lawmakers in the Ohio House of Representatives have stepped up and passed the carefully crafted Ohio Personal Privacy Act. The Buckeye Institute-championed policies in this legislation—which is a model for the nation—balance the tradeoffs between protecting consumers’ data privacy and not overburdening businesses and consumers.”
