The California State Senate has officially passed the Expanding Privacy Rights Act (SB 923), authored by Sen. Josh Becker and sponsored by CalPrivacy. This is an important step towards strengthening Californians’ control over their personal data.

SB 923 would expand Californians’ right to delete to cover personal information held by businesses about a consumer and require more accessible ways to submit privacy requests.

With Senate passage secured, SB 923 now moves to the Assembly, a key next step towards modernizing and strengthening California privacy law.
