No Member Meetings Scheduled, but Thune Says Privacy Staffs Still Talking

No Senate Commerce Committee privacy group meetings are scheduled for the six members (see 1905160021), but staffs continue talking, Senate Majority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters Thursday. Ranking member Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said staffs met throughout the week, and she also got together with Chairman Roger Wicker, R-Miss. “I’m hoping we can get that jump-started because the California law kicks in January next year. If we don’t have a national standard in place by then, it’s going to be a free for all with the states," Thune said.
