The focus on privacy for consumer information has been in the forefront of discussion and California continues to be the state to watch. Their regulations have not been finalized, but enforcement of their privacy act is expected to be July 1. As more states consider similar legislation, the AAF National has expressed written concerns regarding the early drafts of Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Data Act (CUPIDA) from The Uniform Law Commission.
