The text of the Resolution sponsored by Delegate Bob Brink is available at: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?ses=021&typ=bil&val=hj172 From National Journal's Tech Daily (3/5/02): Privacy: The Virginia legislature has approved an Internet privacy resolution that calls on state, local and campaign Web sites to comply with the privacy-protection technology known as the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P). The technology allows Web users to set a desired level of privacy and receive warnings about company policies that do not meet their settings. The resolution, H.J. 172, also requests that the Virginia Information Providers Network (VIPNet) work with its parent company, the National Information Consortium, to encourage state and local governments to adopt P3P into their Web sites. The measure also says that Virginia's governor should encourage executive agencies to deploy P3P technology and that online privacy legislation should recognize P3P-compliant policies as a means of providing Internet users with privacy notices. The state Senate adopted the resolution by voice vote Feb. 28; the state House had done so Jan. 24.
