The Swiss Parliament Agrees on the Draft Bill of a New Data Protection Act
After three years of discussions and in a final debate, the Swiss parliament has agreed on the final draft bill of a new and modernized data protection law.
The Federal Council will set the date for the entry into force of the revised law. That decision will depend on whether there will be a public vote, as the draft bill is subject to an optional referendum (the time limit for which is 100 days), as well as how fast the Federal Council can update the Ordonnance to the law (regulating some provisions in more detail).
