On the Horizon — Not Yet Law

Pennsylvania Consumer Data Privacy Act (HB 78)

PA Privacy Act (proposed)

Pennsylvania

Second-highest priority to re-check after Massachusetts. The Senate amended the House bill in June 2026 — notably raising the controller threshold from 50,000 to 100,000 consumers — so even after Senate passage it would still need House concurrence.

Status: Passed the PA House 127-76 (Oct 1, 2025); referred to Senate Consumer Protection & Professional Licensure (Oct 3, 2025); reported and re-referred to Communications & Technology (Feb 4, 2026); re-reported as amended, first consideration (Jun 24, 2026); second consideration (Jun 25, 2026). No final Senate passage, no House concurrence on the Senate amendments, no Act number. Re-verified against palegis.us Sep 11, 2026 — still sitting after second consideration.

Not law yet. Bill text provides it would take effect one year after passage.
