The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6002, aims to amend the general statutes to ensure that all state agencies are subject to the same data protection and privacy laws that currently apply to private sector businesses. This legislative change is intended to enhance the accountability and standards of data handling within state government, aligning them with the expectations placed on private entities.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that explicitly subjects state agencies to the same data protection and privacy regulations as the private sector. The overarching goal is to promote consistency in data privacy practices across both public and private sectors, thereby strengthening the protection of personal information for all citizens.
