Summary
Mississippi HB 1051 did not become law. It would have established a comprehensive consumer-privacy framework that classified processing genetic data for the purpose of uniquely identifying an individual as sensitive-data processing.
Topics: Consumer Personal Data Privacy
What it requires or prohibits
Covered controllers would have needed consent before processing sensitive data for a nonexempt purpose. The bill also would have provided consumer rights involving access, correction, deletion, data portability, targeted advertising, data sales, and specified profiling. The Attorney General would have had exclusive enforcement authority after a 60-day opportunity to cure.
In plain language
The proposal would have required qualifying businesses to obtain consent before using genetic data to identify a consumer. Because the bill died in committee, it created no new consumer rights or business obligations.
