Court strikes down West Virginia law barring disclosure of public officials’ personal data
A federal appellate court panel ruled that West Virginia's Daniel's Law, which shields personal data of police and other officials, violates the Constitution. The decision strikes down the state's version of the law as unconstitutional.
Why it matters: Government agencies and officials in West Virginia relying on this law to protect personal data now face potential exposure; practitioners managing data governance for public sector entities should review compliance implications and evaluate alternative privacy protections.
