Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 758 adds clarity around the types of physiological characteristics that can be used for consumer identification, specifying that these characteristics must confirm a unique identification. Additionally, it maintains the same revenue thresholds for reporting personal data processing, while reaffirming that the guidelines apply to both independent entities and their affiliates. These changes are important because they ensure that the bill clearly defines data usage while protecting consumers' personal information.
