California reform · October 13, 2026
SB 690 is signed. Broader website litigation remains.
Newsom signed the targeted CIPA reform on September 30. Effective January 1, 2027, it limits private website and app pen-register claims while leaving other CIPA claims available.
What changed—and what did not →Why are website tools drawing wiretapping claims?
Many websites exchange information with outside providers. Some claims argue that a provider received that information without the consent required by wiretapping or related surveillance laws. The legal analysis depends on the data, the recipient, the technology and the claim.
For businesses, responding to a disputed claim can require legal and technical work before its merits are decided. The policy question is how to provide clear rules for digital commerce while preserving meaningful protection against misuse of personal information.

The HAIL Act would establish a commercial-purpose exemption under specified federal and state surveillance laws. The scope of that exemption, its effect on existing proceedings and the remedies that would remain available are central to evaluating the proposal.
