US-CONGRESS BILLS-119hr9655ih: Fair Allocation of Infrastructure Responsibility for Data Act; FAIR Data Act
The FAIR Data Act (H.R. 9655) proposes federal data privacy standards that would preempt state laws like CCPA/CPRA, requiring businesses to implement universal opt-out mechanisms, conduct risk assessments for ADMT, and minimize data collection. It targets data brokers and large retailers with new compliance obligations.
Aforeworn detected this change in the US State Data-Privacy Laws space on July 14, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard. It is rated High urgency. Multistate retailers, adtech/data brokers, SaaS platforms, privacy consultants should confirm how it applies to their specific situation before acting. There is a time constraint attached: Bill is in early stage; monitor progress. If passed, compliance likely required within 12-24 months of enactment.. Acting after that point can mean penalties, a lapsed licence, or lost eligibility — exactly the kind of surprise Aforeworn exists to prevent. Aforeworn monitors US State Data-Privacy Laws continuously and turns every detected change into a plain-English briefing like this one, so you always know first. Forewarned is forearmed.
