The revamped proposal includes major changes, which Coons said were the result of months of “challenging” negotiations with “very sharply opposed interest groups” representing performers and artists and those representing tech platforms.The updated measure would override future state laws on digital replicas but preserve ones already on the books, like, Blackburn’s home state.
