We are moving westward this week from Iowa to Nebraska in our series of articles providing in-depth summaries of state consumer privacy laws taking effect across the nation.

Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen (R) signed the Nebraska Data Privacy Act (or NEDPA) into law in April. NEDPA becomes effective on January 1, 2025 – the same day as similar laws going live in Delaware, Iowa, and New Hampshire. This relatively short period between signature and effective date left little time for impacted companies to prepare; however, Nebraska’s approach to applicability criteria has cast a specifically tailored net focused on businesses selling personal data of Nebraska residents.
