Sensitive personal information.

January 5, 2026

Summary

If enacted, this bill would amend California Civil Code Sections 1798.100 and 1798.121 to revise how businesses handle sensitive personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), potentially expanding consumer rights and restricting the collection, use, and disclosure of sensitive data. This would require banks, lenders, fintechs, insurers, and other covered businesses to update privacy notices, obtain new consents, and adjust data-handling practices.
