	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1687, as amended, Calderon. Customer records: age information:

provider  that enters into a contractual agreement to provide
specified employment services to an individual paid subscriber from
publishing information about the subscriber's age and would require
the provider to remove any information regarding the subscriber's age
from any Internet Web site under the provider's control if requested
by the subscriber.  The bill would define terms for purposes of
these provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
