AB 2826, as introduced, Muratsuchi. Privacy: internet privacy requirements.

Existing law requires an operator of a commercial website or online service that collects personally identifiable information through the website or online service from individual consumers who use or visit the commercial website or online service and who reside in California to comply with specified provisions.
