What it does

State Law Tracker is an agent skill from mukul975/Privacy-Data-Protection-Skills. Tracks and monitors US state privacy legislation across all 50 states, DC, and territories. Covers enacted comprehensive privacy laws (California CCPA/CPRA, Virginia VCDPA, Colorado CPA, Connecticut CTDPA, Utah UCPA, and subsequent enactments), pending bills, effective dates, and key requirement differences. Keywords: state privacy law, CCPA, CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, multi-state.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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. 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

Example prompts

  • “Use the state-law-tracker skill to track and monitors US state privacy legislation across all 50 states, DC, and territories”
  • “/state-law-tracker”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) privacy legislation database
  2. International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) state law comparison tool
  3. Individual state legislature bill tracking systems
  4. Attorney General enforcement announcements

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 Tracker loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 601 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.9k

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.

US State Privacy Law Tracker

Overview

The United States does not have a single comprehensive federal privacy law. Instead, a patchwork of state-level comprehensive privacy statutes has emerged since the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted in 2018. As of early 2026, twenty states have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws, with additional states introducing legislation in each legislative session. This skill tracks the status of enacted laws, key provisions, effective dates, and substantive differences that drive multi-state compliance obligations.

Key Compliance Variables Across States

Applicability Thresholds

States differ in what triggers applicability:

  • Revenue threshold: California (USD 25 million gross revenue) is the only state with a revenue trigger
  • Consumer volume: Most states use 100,000 consumers; Texas uses 50,000 (if revenue derived from data sales); Montana uses 50,000 (total population consideration)
  • Revenue from data sales: Most states apply if 25% or more of revenue comes from selling personal data (for businesses processing 25,000+ consumers)

Cure Period Variations
  • 30-day cure: Virginia, Utah, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky
  • 60-day cure: Colorado (expires 1 Jan 2025), Connecticut (expires 31 Dec 2024)
  • No cure period: California (CPPA discretion), Texas, Oregon, New Jersey, Maryland
  • AG discretion: Several states allow AG to determine cure appropriateness
Universal Opt-Out Mechanism

States increasingly recognise universal opt-out signals:

  • Required: California (CPRA regulations), Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Montana, Oregon, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, Vermont
  • Not required: Virginia, Utah, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky

Monitoring Methodology

This tracker is updated by reviewing:

  1. National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) privacy legislation database
  2. International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) state law comparison tool
  3. Individual state legislature bill tracking systems
  4. Attorney General enforcement announcements

Integration Points

  • state-law-applicability: Uses tracker data to determine which state laws apply to a specific organisation
  • multi-state-compliance: Operationalises tracker data into a unified compliance programme
  • universal-opt-out: Implements technical mechanisms required by states mandating GPC/universal opt-out
  • ccpa-consumer-requests: California-specific consumer request handling
  • vcdpa-compliance: Virginia-specific compliance operations
  • texas-tdpsa-compliance: Texas-specific compliance operations
