Like the Uniform Commercial Code (adopted by 50 states) and the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (adopted by 46 states), the Uniform Commission’s new model law — the Uniform Personal Data Protection Act (UPDPA) — could see widespread state-by-state adoption.
This one-hour webinar features key players involved in the drafting and development of the Uniform Law Commission's (ULC) new model privacy law.
The discussion addressed:
- What is the Uniform Law Commission?
- What is the background for developing this model privacy law?
- What is in UPDPA, and how does it differ from GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, etc.?
- Does UPDPA provide meaningful privacy protection and individual rights?
- How would compliance with UPDPA be achieved and enforced?
- What is the current status of UPDPA in the states, and what are its future prospects?
- Would UPDPA deter federal privacy legislation, or serve as a model for it?
