WASHINGTON, June 3, 2026 – A House panel is taking up Wednesday a sweeping proposal to create the first national standard for consumer data privacy.

A House Energy and Commerce Committee subcommittee is reviewing the SECURE Data Act, a bill aimed at replacing the patchwork of state privacy laws with a single federal framework. Supporters say the current system leaves consumers exposed because protections vary widely across state lines.
