Louisiana has enacted the Louisiana Data Privacy Act, making it the 22nd state in the country to put a consumer data privacy law on the books, according to the National Law Review. The law was reported June 9, 2026.
Twenty-two states. That’s how far the state-by-state push for data privacy rules has now reached — a count that didn’t exist as recently as a few years ago, when only a handful of states had moved on the issue at all.
The National Law Review flagged Louisiana’s entry into that group, though the publication’s coverage didn’t detail specific enforcement provisions, dollar thresholds for violations, or the agency responsible for oversight under the new law. Those details hadn’t been made public in the reporting available as of the publication date.
What’s next for the law — including when it takes effect and which businesses it covers — hasn’t been spelled out in available reporting.
