Once again, the Virginia legislature is set to consider comprehensive data privacy legislation. In the 2020 regular session of the Virginia General Assembly, the House of Delegates referred several bills dealing with privacy issues, including a proposed data privacy law, to the Virginia Joint Commission on Science and Technology for study.
This year, it appears Virginia is poised to seriously consider adoption of a broad consumer data privacy framework. Senate Bill 1392 , sponsored by Senator David Marsden (D-Fairfax), was introduced on January 13, 2021. House Bill 2307, sponsored by Delegate Cliff Hayes, Jr. (D-Chesapeake), was introduced on January 20, 2021. The bills create the “Consumer Data Protection Act.”
Virginia does not currently have a comprehensive data privacy law governing consumer data. Like most states, it has a data breach notification law and various protections for specific types of data in certain contexts.

On January 1, 2021, the United States Senate joined the House of Representatives in overriding President Trump’s veto, and the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) became law. The NDAA was passed chiefly to authorize appropriations for military activities of the Department of Defense. The NDAA also includes a provision codifying the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) authority to seek in federal court actions disgorgement up to five years after the occurrence of securities laws violations, and expands that authority to ten years where those violations involve scienter-based (intentional) fraud. The new law resolves the much debated issues regarding the SEC’s disgorgement authority and the extended period during which the SEC now may seek disgorgement will have an immediate, significant impact on individuals and entities involved in SEC investigations and litigation.
