T-Minus One Year Until Minnesota’s Data Privacy Law Goes Online. Here’s What to Expect

Minnesota became the eighteenth state to pass the state data privacy statute, the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA)—and is nearing a year’s mark from when it goes into effect on July 31, 2025.

The MCDPA is the sixth such law to pass just this year  keeping the states paces ahead of a proposed federal data privacy bill, the American Privacy Rights Act, that is still floundering in the U.S. Congress.
