What it does

State Law Applicability is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. US state privacy law applicability assessment tool. Evaluates revenue thresholds, data volume thresholds, business exemptions (GLBA, HIPAA, nonprofits), employee data carve-outs, and SBA small business determinations across all enacted state privacy laws.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/standards.md` and `references/workflows.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Privacy and GDPR and Healthcare and finance regulation. The repository describes itself as: 282+ structured privacy & data protection skills for AI agents. GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act, HIPAA, LGPD, PIPL, DPDP Act. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Privacy and GDPR
  • Tasks that involve Healthcare and finance regulation

Example prompts

  • “/state-law-applicability”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Geographic Nexus
  2. Threshold Assessment
  3. Entity-Level Exemptions
  4. Data-Level Exemptions
  5. Employee Data Assessment
  6. SBA Small Business Determination (Texas TDPSA)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b2ef9e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

State Law Applicability loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 764 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

State Privacy Law Applicability Assessment

Overview

Determining which US state privacy laws apply to an organization requires evaluating multiple criteria: revenue thresholds, consumer/data volume thresholds, industry-specific exemptions, entity-type exemptions, and data-type exemptions. This skill provides a systematic assessment framework and Python automation tool for evaluating applicability across all major enacted state privacy laws.

Assessment Framework

Step 1: Geographic Nexus

For each state, determine if the organization has nexus through:

  • Conducting business in the state (physical presence, employees, registered entity)
  • Targeting residents of the state (marketing, advertising, or providing products/services specifically to state residents)
  • Producing products/services consumed by state residents

Most state laws use "conducts business in [state] OR produces products or services targeted to [state] residents" as the nexus requirement.

Step 2: Threshold Assessment
StateThreshold 1Threshold 2Revenue Alternative
California100,000 consumers/households50% revenue from sale/sharing$25,000,000 annual gross revenue
Virginia100,000 consumers25,000 consumers + 50% revenue from saleNone
Colorado100,000 consumers25,000 consumers + revenue/discount from saleNone
Connecticut100,000 consumers (excl. payment)25,000 consumers + 25% revenue from saleNone
TexasNon-SBA small businessN/ANone (no threshold)
Oregon100,000 consumers (excl. payment)25,000 consumers + 25% revenue from saleNone
Montana50,000 consumers (excl. payment)25,000 consumers + 25% revenue from saleNone
Kentucky100,000 consumers25,000 consumers + 50% revenue from saleNone

Step 4: Data-Level Exemptions

Data that is already governed by certain federal laws may be exempt even if the organization itself is not:

Federal LawFull NameData Type
GLBAGramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. §6801)Financial data under GLBA privacy rules
HIPAAHealth Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (42 U.S.C. §1320d)Protected health information (PHI)
FERPAFamily Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. §1232g)Education records
FCRAFair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. §1681)Consumer credit reports
DPPADriver's Privacy Protection Act (18 U.S.C. §2721)Motor vehicle records
COPPAChildren's Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C. §6501)Children's data under COPPA
Farm Credit ActFarm Credit Act of 1971 (12 U.S.C. §2001)Farm credit data

California distinction: CCPA/CPRA exempts the data governed by these federal laws, not the entity. A GLBA-covered bank is still subject to CCPA for personal data that falls outside GLBA's scope (e.g., marketing data not related to financial products).

Step 5: Employee Data Assessment
StateEmployee Data Status
CaliforniaFully covered (CPRA removed prior partial exemption)
VirginiaExempt from consumer rights; controller duties apply
ColoradoExempt from consumer rights; controller duties apply
ConnecticutExempt from consumer rights; controller duties apply
TexasExempt from consumer rights; controller duties apply
OregonPartial exemption: Rights exempt; controller duties, DPIAs, sensitive consent apply
MontanaExempt from consumer rights; controller duties apply
KentuckyExempt from consumer rights; controller duties apply
Step 6: SBA Small Business Determination (Texas TDPSA)

The TDPSA is the only state law that uses the SBA small business definition. Key steps:

  1. Identify the organization's primary NAICS code
  2. Look up the SBA size standard for that NAICS code in 13 CFR §121.201
  3. Compare the organization's annual receipts or employee count to the threshold
  4. If the organization qualifies as a small business:
    • Most TDPSA provisions are exempt
    • Prohibition on selling sensitive data without consent still applies (§541.107(b))

Common SBA thresholds for technology/retail companies:

NAICSIndustryRevenue Threshold
454110Electronic shopping$40,000,000
519130Internet publishing and web search portals$47,000,000
518210Data processing and hosting$35,000,000
511210Software publishers$47,000,000
541511Custom computer programming$34,000,000
