CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 1022

Introduced by Senator Umberg

February 14, 2020

An act to amend Section 4051 of the Financial 1798.115 of the Civil Code, relating to privacy.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1022, as amended, Umberg. Privacy. Personal information: disclosure.
Existing law, the California Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (CCPA) grants a consumer various rights with regard to personal information relating to that consumer collected by a business, including the right to know the categories and the specific pieces of personal information that a business collects and to opt out of the sale of personal information. With regard to information sold to a third party about a consumer by a business, the CCPA prohibits the third party from selling that information unless the consumer has received notice, as specified, and an opportunity to exercise the right to opt out of the sale. Existing law commits the regulatory authority for these provisions with the Attorney General.
This bill would require that a consumer’s election to opt out of the sale of personal information, as described above, remain effective after the company that holds the information, or the information itself, is sold.

Existing law, the California Financial Information Privacy Act, prohibits a financial institution from disclosing or sharing a consumer’s nonpublic personal information with a nonaffiliated third party unless the financial institution has obtained consent from the consumer, as specified. The bill makes a statement of legislative intent with regard to the act.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes in the statement of intent regarding the California Financial Information Privacy Act.
