Colorado Privacy Act Passes With Nationwide Implications for Businesses

After California and Virginia, Colorado recently became the third state to pass a comprehensive consumer data privacy bill. Although this new Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) overlaps with the California and Virginia privacy laws, it differs from those laws in some respects. For example, it does not generally exempt nonprofit organizations from its scope, but generally exempts information in the employment and business-to-business context. This new Colorado law will become effective on July 1, 2023. Further, it permits the Colorado attorney general to develop regulations implementing the CPA and provides a process for issuing opinion letters and interpretive guidance.
