GA HR1791

Georgia House Resolution urging the federal government to establish a national data protection authority to address data privacy concerns

Cites concerns about personal data collection including biometrics, location tracking, and facial recognition being shared between companies without individual knowledge or consent

Proposed federal authority would ensure personal data transfers require individual consent, develop technical standards for safe data storage, and enforce compliance by entities handling data

Warns that without federal action, states may pursue their own measures including constitutional amendments and interstate compacts to protect citizens

Directs copies of the resolution be sent to the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and all members of the Georgia congressional delegation
