The bill bans the sale of precise location data and other sensitive information (biometrics, health data, religion, immigration status, sexual orientation) without explicit user consent. It applies to companies processing data of more than 100,000 consumers. After combining House and Senate versions, the bill heads to the governor for signing. The law effectively creates a blanket ban on location data sales statewide, impacting data brokers, ad-tech companies, and location-data startups. The move comes as federal-level protections have stalled under the Trump administration. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
