SIIA Submits Letter on Washington State Privacy Bill HB1671, Comprehensive Privacy

The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) submitted a letter to Washington lawmakers regarding HB1671, “Protecting Personal Data Privacy,” expressing concerns that the bill’s treatment of publicly available information (PAI) could infringe on First Amendment rights. The letter highlights the need to balance privacy protections with constitutional free speech principles and warns that the bill’s restrictions on inferences made from public data may be legally problematic. SIIA urges lawmakers to reconsider these provisions to align with best practices in state privacy laws.
