United States of America: Signed Bill expanding definition of sensitive personal information to include neural data (SB 1223)

On 28 September 2024, the Bill expanding definition of sensitive personal information to include neural data (SB 1223) was signed by the Governor of California. The Bill amends the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) to include the definition of “neural data” as information generated by the measurement of the activity of an individual's central or peripheral nervous systems and not inferred from non-neural information. The Bill enters into effect on 1 January 2025.
