Abstract
When he vetoed the Vermont Legislature’s recent privacy bill, Gov. Phil Scott, R-Vt., declared that it "created an unnecessary and avoidable level of risk," in large part because it had a "narrow" private right of action. Because he feared that it would make Vermont a "national outlier," Scott returned the bill to the legislature, which had an opportunity to override the veto, but failed to get the two-thirds majority to do so.
