SB 1074: Covered provider: goods and services: self-preferencing conduct.
This bill would prohibit covered providers from preferencing their own products or services over those of other businesses, including manipulating search results or restricting interoperability. It would also restrict covered providers from restricting consumers from obtaining a copy of their data in a useful format. The bill would provide cumulative and enforceable remedies for violations, including criminal penalties, damages, and fees. It would also exempt displays of objective content, such as mathematical calculations, under certain conditions. The bill's provisions would be enforceable under existing laws, and its remedies would be cumulative and separate from other laws. The state would not be required to reimburse local agencies or school districts for costs related to this bill.
