Legislative counsel walked the Vermont House Commerce & Economic Development Committee through a detailed bill to expand regulation of data brokers: tightened definitions, a new data-broker-specific breach-notice regime, a statewide deletion mechanism, mandatory audits, new penalties, and a data-broker registry fund. Committee members asked about scope, exceptions for regulated industries, audit detail, record retention, and federal AI preemption.
