Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 923, AB 2561, AB 883 and SB 690 into law during the 2026 session. SB 923 broadens CCPA deletion rights and requires online request mechanisms; AB 2561 bars operating systems and apps from changing privacy settings without consent; AB 883 shortens data‑broker deletion request processing to 30 days and promotes DROP awareness; SB 690 removes the private right of action for certain pen‑register and trap‑and‑trace claims under CIPA.
Why it matters: The new statutes significantly strengthen consumer deletion rights, tighten data‑broker obligations, protect user‑controlled privacy settings, and curtail a class of privacy‑related lawsuits.
