Nah. From what legal people have told me, any sort of nationwide law is easier to comply with than random laws in 50 states. Each state focuses on different things, it's not as simple as strict/not strict.
The key word is "strong". This bill is the opposite of that. It would, however, eliminate the stronger protections currently enjoyed within many states.
Unfortunately, with our bought and payed for auction we call "representative democracy", a strong national privacy bill is not likely to ever happen-- rich folks get richer by abusing our privacy than by respecting it.

I hope either preemption is removed, or this goes down in flames.
