Vermont: Senate sustains Governor's veto on bill for data privacy act

On June 17, 2024, the Vermont State Senate sustained the Vermont Governor's veto on House Bill 121 for an act relating to enhancing consumer privacy. The Senate sustained the veto on a roll call with 14 Yeas and 15 Nays on the question of whether the bill should pass notwithstanding the Governor's refusal to approve the bill. 

The bill provided for comprehensive data protection, including: 

  • the Vermont Data Privacy Act;
  • the public outreach and education, the attorney general study;
  • the protection of personal information, which includes the provisions relating to data broker security breaches; and
  • the Age-Appropriate Design Code.
