CS/SB 262 (Bradley) and HB 1547 (McFarland), of importance to municipalities, the bills prohibit officers or employees of a governmental entity from using their position or state resources to communicate with a social media platform for purposes of content moderation. This prohibition does not apply if the entity or individual is performing routine account management of the entity’s account, attempting to remove content if it pertains to a crime or a violation of the state’s public records law, or for law enforcement or public safety purposes. The bills also preempt the collection, processing, sharing or sale of consumer personal information by a controller or processor to the state. (Taggart)
