Bill > B26-0670

This bill, the District of Columbia Government Data Privacy and Protection Act of 2026, aims to create comprehensive privacy rules for how District government agencies and third parties handle the personal data of individuals, referred to as "covered individuals." It will grant these individuals enforceable rights over their data and establish a new Chief Privacy Officer position within the Office of the Chief Technology Officer to oversee these protections. The bill also includes standard provisions regarding its fiscal impact and effective date, which will occur after mayoral approval and a 30-day congressional review period, as is typical for legislation in the District of Columbia.
