[Tracy Rosenberg]

A hearing was noticed for AB 1760 on Thursday April 25. Can someone explain
what that's about?

Of the members of the Privacy Committee, only Asm. Wicks had come out in favor of A.B. 1760. Asm. Wicks says she is committed to keeping this bill and our conversations alive for another push next year.

And we can't stay silent about the fact that the Privacy Committee just killed the only bill that supported consumer rights rather than industry power.  We will keep you updated abut the outcome of any anti-consumer bills heard by the committee tomorrow.

They must stop bills that erode our privacy and support strong privacy legislation—including A.B. 1760 in January—and we must let them hear it. We are also fighting Sen. Stern's S.B. 573, in the Senate Judiciary Committee*, *which would add an adtech exemption to CCPA.

That bill will be heard in the Appropriations Committee at the end of May, and needs our support as the only affirmative privacy bill in the legislature right now.

Tech companies are saying that they support privacy yet still deploy their money and pressure to silence real privacy bills. It's up to us to show them that's not true.
