Federal government; establish a national data protection authority; urge
This bill is a non-binding resolution that urges the federal government to create a national data protection authority to oversee how personal information is collected, stored, and shared. It highlights concerns about the widespread tracking of biometric and location data without individual consent and argues that a unified federal approach is necessary to ensure consumer confidence and economic stability. The resolution requests that the Department of Homeland Security and Georgia's congressional delegation receive copies of the document, but it does not establish any new laws or regulations itself. As a procedural measure, it serves as a formal recommendation rather than a law that directly impacts businesses or individuals.
