Mississippi Consumer Data Protection Act; enact.

SB 2500, the Mississippi Consumer Data Protection Act, would have established state-level privacy rights for Mississippi residents by requiring businesses collecting personal data to provide clear privacy notices, allow consumers to access or delete their data, and implement security measures. It directly affects businesses operating in Mississippi that handle personal information, excluding healthcare data covered under HIPAA and de-identified information. Key provisions include mandating consumer requests be addressed promptly, requiring businesses to establish appeal processes for denied requests, and granting the Attorney General exclusive enforcement authority with civil penalties for violations. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
