Overview: SCR 1038, "right to privacy", is a Senate concurrent resolution currently in the Senate Second Reading stage. It was introduced on February 10, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of SCR 1038 is to affirm and protect the fundamental right to privacy for all individuals within the state. The resolution seeks to address concerns about emerging threats to personal privacy, such as advancements in surveillance technology and data collection practices.
Key Provisions:
- Declares that the right to privacy is a fundamental right protected by the state constitution
- Directs the state legislature to enact laws and regulations to safeguard individual privacy rights
- Calls for the establishment of a commission to review existing privacy laws and make recommendations for strengthening protections
Affected Parties and Impacts: The resolution would affect all residents of the state, as it aims to bolster privacy rights and protections for the general population. Businesses and organizations that collect or use personal data may also be impacted by any new privacy-related laws or regulations that are enacted.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: SCR 1038 is currently in the Senate Second Reading stage, meaning it has passed initial committee review and is now being considered by the full Senate. If approved by the Senate, the resolution would then move to the House for further consideration. The timeline for the potential enactment of new privacy laws or the establishment of a privacy commission is unclear at this stage.
