Which of the following became the first state to pass a law specifically regulating the practices of data brokers?

According to the web search results from my predefined tool, Vermont became the first state to pass

a law specifically regulating the practices of data brokers in 2018. The law defines a data broker as “a

business, or unit or units of a business, separately or together, that knowingly collects and sells or

licenses to third parties the brokered personal information of a consumer with whom the business

does not have a direct relationship.” The law requires data brokers to register with the Secretary of

State, pay a registration fee, provide information about their data collection and opt-out practices,

and implement security measures to protect the personal information they collect and sell. The law

also imposes additional obligations on data brokers that possess the personal information of

minors. The law aims to increase the transparency and accountability of the data broker industry and

to protect the privacy rights of consumers12. Reference:
