Existing law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, grants, commencing on January 1, 2020, a consumer various rights with regard to personal information relating to that consumer that is held by a business, including the right to request a business to delete any personal information about the consumer collected by the business, and requires the business to comply with a verifiable consumer request to that effect, unless it is necessary for the business or service provider to maintain the customer's personal information in order to carry out specified acts. The act prohibits a business from discriminating against the consumer for exercising any of the consumer's rights under the act, except if the difference is reasonably related to value provided by the consumer's data. This bill would, instead, prohibit a business from unreasonably discriminating against a consumer for exercising of any of the consumer's rights under the act. The act authorizes a business to offer financial incentives for collection, sale, or deletion of personal information. The act authorizes a business to offer a different rate, price, level, or quality of goods or services to the consumer if that price or difference is directly related to the value provided to the consumer by the consumer's data. The act, however, prohibits a business from entering a consumer into a financial incentive program unless the consumer gives the business opt-in consent for the program pursuant to a specified process. The act prohibits a business from using financial incentives practices that are unjust, unreasonable, coercive, or usurious in nature. This bill would, instead, authorize a business to offer incentives, including payments to consumers for compensation, for the sale or retention of personal information, and make conforming changes to that effect. The bill would, instead, authorizes a business to offer a different rate, price, level, or quality of goods or services to the consumer if that price or difference is reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the consumer's data, including offering a specific good or service whose functionality is reasonably related to collection, use, or sale of the consumer's data. The bill would, instead, prohibit a business from entering a consumer into an incentive program unless the consumer gives the business prior opt-in consent after notice provided to the consumer. The bill would, instead, prohibit a business from using incentive practices that are coercive or usurious in nature.
This measure would urge the United States Department of Justice not to direct its enforcement priorities towards California's lawfully and closely regulated cannabis industry, among other things.
(1) The Political Reform Act of 1974 provides for the comprehensive regulation of campaign financing. The act requires elected officers, candidates, and committees, including political party committees, to file various reports at specified periods, including semiannual reports, preelection statements, and supplemental preelection statements. The act defines a "political party committee" as the state central committee or county central committee of an organization that meets the requirements for recognition as a political party under law. This bill would additionally require political party committees that received or contributed $50,000 or more in the current or previous two-year election cycle to file monthly reports, as specified. (2) The act generally limits contributions made or received by elected officers, candidates, and committees. The act does not limit the contributions of a political party committee to a candidate for elective state office. The act also authorizes a political party committee to receive higher levels of contributions than other committees. In addition, political party committees are not controlled committees for purposes of the act. This bill would expand the definition of "political party committee" to include a legislative caucus committee. The bill would authorize the caucus of each political party of each house of the Legislature to create a legislative caucus committee directed by the caucus leader, as specified. The bill would provide that funds received by a legislative caucus committee shall be held in trust to advance the interests of the caucus and may be used to make expenditures associated with the election of members to the Legislature and for caucus expenses. The bill would also provide that a legislative caucus committee is not a controlled committee and that a bank account established for a legislative caucus committee is not a campaign contribution account of any candidate. (3) The act prohibits a lobbyist from making a contribution to an elected state officer or candidate for elected state office if the lobbyist is registered to lobby the governmental agency of the officer or for which the candidate is seeking election. This bill would similarly prohibit a lobbyist from making a contribution to a legislative caucus committee if the lobbyist is registered to lobby the Legislature. (4) Because a violation of the act is punishable as a misdemeanor, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. (5) The Political Reform Act of 1974, an initiative measure, provides that the Legislature may amend the act to further the act's purposes upon a 23 vote of each house of the Legislature and compliance with specified procedural requirements. This bill would declare that it furthers the purposes of the act. (6) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute, but would become operative 14 days after its effective date.
This measure would encourage the federal government to maintain or restore full funding to integral international exchange programs, such as the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
