It gave tech companies exemptions to collect and analyze smart-speaker recordings without customer consent. And it prevented consumers from suing companies over privacy violations."

Uh, what? Trying to give the benefit of the doubt but it seems disingenuous to call that a privacy bill in a positive sense, unclear what you mean is reasonable about it (though I guess people can disagree on that point), and while I can appreciate strong internal controls that are difficult to codify in law, that seems orthogonal to any of the merits of the "privacy" bill in question.
