What SB 576 does, verified December 6, 2025

A new law will regulate video streaming services in the state. It will require video streaming services to ensure that commercial advertisements do not have louder audio than the video content they accompany. This means that if a video has a loud music or voiceover, the accompanying commercial should not have an even louder audio. The law aims to preserve and regulate competition, prohibit unfair trade practices, and regulate advertising. The law will take effect on July 1, 2026.
