Vermont's governor vetoed a robust data privacy bill that would have been one of the strongest in the U.S., allowing consumers to sue companies for misusing online personal data. Despite the bill's focus on protecting sensitive data and limiting data collection, Governor Phil Scott cited concerns that the legislation would be detrimental to businesses. However, the Democrat-controlled Legislature plans to override the veto, aiming to set new national standards for consumer protection and privacy rights.
