New legislation introduced in the Senate would pump up the Federal Trade Commission as a way to enforce new privacy and data security laws.
The Consumer Data Privacy and Security Act, introduced March 12 by Sen. Jerry Moran, is one of several privacy bills introduced in Congress this session. Still, one of the main features of the Kansas Republican’s bill is that it would add 440 employees to the FTC’s 1,000-plus workforce. Other lawmakers have proposed a new privacy agency, but Moran’s bill keeps privacy enforcement with the FTC.
