Last update: 8 hours ago

Statehouse Watch: Sen. Susan Rubio says eight bills are headed to Gov. Newsom, including a Lobbyist Registration Modernization Act to speed up public filings, plus measures aimed at protecting survivors and children and boosting transparency. Privacy & Tech Policy: California lawmakers sent bills to Newsom to curb website-tracking lawsuit abuse under CIPA, while another package targets AI chatbots for kids and regulates attorney use of generative AI. Entertainment & Competition: Rob Bonta’s push to block the Paramount–Warner Bros. merger remains a major fight, with critics warning it could reshape Hollywood competition and prices. Data Centers: Bay Area lawmakers advanced measures requiring more disclosure of data centers’ water and energy use, as communities demand transparency. Consumer & Small Business: Toys “R” Us is returning to California with a new Northridge store, part of a broader comeback. Scams: A new report highlights record-high scam losses nationwide, with many victims getting little help.
