The Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act (CDPA) has been signed by the governor making it the fifth state to pass a comprehensive privacy law this year. Effective Oct. 1, 2024, a “consumer” is defined as a Montana resident acting in an individual capacity, not residents acting in a commercial or employment context, or otherwise in a business-to-business or government agency context. The CDPA follows the same role-based processing model as the other state privacy laws.
