Senate Institutions schedules more testimony on S71; S93 discussed as alternative data privacy bill
Summary
On March 11 the Senate Institutions committee said it will take additional testimony on S71; members also discussed S93, described as an alternative data privacy bill that references an availability threshold of 100,000 consumers tied to Connecticut law.
Members of the Senate Institutions committee on Tuesday, March 11 said they will hold more testimony on S71 and that the panel also discussed S93, described in the meeting as an alternative data privacy bill.
Speaker 1, Committee member, opened the brief session and said the committee would reconvene for additional testimony on S71 the following day. The committee noted the potential for a late floor schedule and warned that live coverage could begin late or be interrupted.
Speaker 2, Committee staff, said the committee had discussed S93 and that the draft includes an "availability level" of 100,000 consumers. Staff said the threshold is "based on the Connecticut law," but told the committee they did not know where the figure originated and that the Office of Legislative Council had no immediate explanation.
Rick Segal, legislative counsel, was present at the hearing but, according to the committee, had not heard any of the testimony earlier in the day because he had been attending to other matters. No formal motions or votes on either bill were recorded in the brief exchange captured in the transcript.
The committee did not set a hearing outcome or take formal action on either S71 or S93 during the session recorded. Members said they expect additional testimony on S71 at the next appearance and that they will review S93 when its text is available to the committee.
