Privacy Commission Act

This bill would establish a national commission to study how to better protect the personal privacy of individuals in an increasingly digital world. The commission would be responsible for examining the balance between an individual's right to privacy and the legitimate use of information by both the government and private businesses.

For the average citizen, this means the commission would hold public hearings across the country to gather direct input on privacy concerns before recommending new federal guidelines or laws to the President and Congress. The goal of these efforts is to create a more consistent national standard for how your personal data is collected, shared, and protected.
