Delete Act is designed to streamline consumers' ability to request the deletion of their personal information collected by data brokers.

The bill now awaits the signature of Gov. Gavin Newsom , D-Calif. , though he reportedly has given no indication whether he will sign the bill.

The Delete Act would empower the CPPA to develop a system by 2026 that allows residents to make a single data deletion request across the nearly 500 registered data brokers operating in the state.
