The American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) is a comprehensive data privacy law proposed in the United States. It would place limitations on the kinds of data companies can collect about their users, create processes for users to access or remove data about them, and allow users opt-out from having data sold by data brokers. The bipartisan proposal was introduced in April 2024 by Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA). Cantwell is Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and McMorris Rodgers is Chair of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. If passed, it would supersede some state-based laws which have emerged in the absence of a comprehensive federal data privacy law. The bill underwent controversial revisions in June 2024, removing several consumer protections under pressure from House Republicans, including a section about civil rights. The changes led many privacy and civil society organizations to withdraw support, and the June 27, 2024, committee markup session was canceled amid signals from Republicans that they would kill the bill if it got out of committee.
