Federal privacy legislation in 2026: The 49 bills reshaping US data privacy law
The United States still does not have a single comprehensive federal privacy law resembling the GDPR.That does not mean Congress is standing still.Quite The US Congress has introduced 49 proposals to address consumer privacy, artificial intelligence, children’s data, employee surveillance, reproductive information, connected vehicles, data brokers, automated decision-making and age verification. The IAPP’�s September 2026 federal privacy legislation tracker identifies 49 proposals across five broad privacy categories. Only two of these proposals have yet to become law: the TAKE IT DOWN Act and the Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act. Congress is simultaneously debating three versions of comprehensive consumer privacy legislation, while also pursuing narrower rules for AI, children, health information, data broker and employee monitoring. Several ideas that once appeared primarily in comprehensive privacy legislation are migrating into sector-specific bills: data minimization, deletion rights, sensitive-data restrictions, automated-decision transparency and restrictions on targeted advertising.
