California enacted SB 361, chaptered as Chapter 466, Statutes of 2025, amending data broker registration requirements. The measure expands the categories of information brokers must disclose in their registration, including whether they collect or sell data and to which types of purchasers, such as government and law enforcement entities.
Constitutional basis: Ordinary state police-power disclosure mandate on private registrants, consistent with California's constitutional privacy provision; imposes no restriction on federal agency operations.
