(1) Existing law requires that an application for voter registration information available pursuant to law and maintained by the Secretary of State or by the elections official of any county be made pursuant to specified requirements. Existing law requires a person or entity who has received voter registration information pursuant to these provisions, following discovery or notification of a breach in the security of the storage of the information, to disclose the breach in security to the Secretary of State. Existing law requires the Secretary of State to adopt regulations describing best practices for storage and security of voter registration information received by an applicant. This bill would authorize the Secretary of State to require an applicant to take a training course regarding data security as a condition for the receipt of voter registration information if that course is made available to the applicant at no cost to the applicant. (2) Existing law authorizes the Secretary of State to require elections officers to make reports concerning elections in their jurisdictions. This bill would clarify that this reporting requirement may include information about the identity of, and contact information for, the elections official who is responsible for conducting elections in the jurisdiction.
This measure would proclaim October 10, 2019, as the 108th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage in California.

(1) Existing law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, beginning on January 1, 2020, grants consumers various rights with regard to their personal information held by businesses, including the right to know what categories of personal information and the specific pieces a business collects and to have information held by that business deleted, as specified. Existing law imposes certain responsibilities on the Attorney General in connection with the act, including creating regulations and providing guidance on how to comply with the act. The act excludes from the definition of personal information consumer information that is deidentified, or aggregate consumer information. The act defines "deidentified" to mean information that cannot reasonably identify, relate to, describe, be capable of being associated with, or be linked, directly or indirectly, to a particular consumer, provided that a business using deidentified information has implemented technical safeguards that prohibit reidentification of the consumer to whom the information may pertain, has implemented business processes specifically prohibiting reidentification of the information to prevent inadvertent release, and makes no attempt to reidentify the information. This bill would revise the definition of "deidentified" to instead mean information that does not identify, and is not reasonably linkable, directly or indirectly, to a particular consumer, provided that the business makes no attempt to reidentify the information and takes reasonable technical and administrative measures designed to ensure that the data is deidentified, publicly commits to maintain and use the data in a deidentified form, and contractually prohibits recipients of the data from trying to reidentify it. (2) Existing law defines "personal information," as, among other information, that which is capable of being associated with or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. This bill would instead specify that personal information includes, but is not limited to, specified information that, among other things, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could be reasonably linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. (3) Existing law specifies that the act is not to be construed to require a business to reidentify or otherwise link information that is not maintained in a manner that would be considered personal information. This bill would revise this language to delete the reference to information that is not maintained in "a manner that would be considered personal information." The bill would instead refer to information that is not maintained as personal information. The bill would make additional conforming changes to these provisions.
This measure would designate the portion of Interstate 505 between the Interstate 80 interchange and the Vaca Valley Parkway in the County of Solano as the CHP Officer Kirk Griess Memorial Highway. The measure would request the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.

This measure would urge the federal government to stop using ruses against immigrants, revise the tactics used by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) , cease the unjust detention of undocumented immigrants, end blanket raids against individuals thought to be without documents, and adopt a standard uniform for ICE officers that clearly identifies them as ICE when operating in California.
The Political Reform Act of 1974 regulates the use of campaign funds held by candidates for elective office, elected officers, and campaign committees. The act generally prohibits the use of campaign funds for payment or reimbursement for the lease of real property or for the purchase, lease, or refurbishment of any appliance or equipment if the lessee or sublessor is, or the legal title resides in, a specified individual, such as a candidate, elected officer, or a member of the candidate or officer's immediate family. Notwithstanding that prohibition, existing law authorizes the use of campaign funds to pay or reimburse the state for the costs of installing and monitoring an electronic security system in a candidate or elected officer's home or office, as specified. This bill would authorize the expenditure of campaign funds to pay for, or reimburse the state for, the installation and monitoring of hardware, software, and services related to the cybersecurity of the electronic devices of a candidate, elected officer, or campaign worker. The bill would require a candidate or elected officer to report any expenditure of campaign funds for these purposes to the Fair Political Practices Commission in the candidate or elected officer's campaign statements. The bill would make related findings and declarations. 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.
