- Personal data that is lawfully made available through a government record or widely distributed media, or that a controller reasonably believes a consumer lawfully made public, falls outside the MCDPA's definition of personal data.
- Check the Act's current, lower thresholds (25,000 consumers, or 15,000 with more than 25% of revenue from data sales) as amended by SB 297 in 2025; the original 2023 thresholds were roughly double these and no longer apply.
- Cite this Act's origin as Senate Bill 384 (2023), Chapter 681, never House Bill 351, which is an unrelated, unenacted marijuana bill.
