MODERATE
The bill was amended to add new definitions and expand the scope of entities required to register as data brokers, while removing a dedicated enforcement section and reorganizing the article structure. These changes aim to clarify who must comply with the law and ensure broader coverage of businesses handling consumer data.
Scope change
The bill now applies to a wider range of businesses, including those with specific revenue thresholds, those sharing data with related entities, and voluntary participants, in addition to the original definition of data brokers.
DEFINITION
Added a new definition for 'Aggregate consumer information' to distinguish between individual data and anonymized group data.
Added a comprehensive new definition for 'Biometric data' that includes DNA, voice recordings, and behavioral patterns, replacing the previous narrower definition.
ELIGIBILITY
Expanded the definition of 'Business' to include entities meeting specific revenue thresholds, those sharing data with related brands, and voluntary participants.
REQUIREMENT
Removed the standalone section dedicated to enforcement mechanisms.
STRUCTURE
Reordered the article sections to place data broker website disclosure and security program requirements before enforcement.
