Bill > AB1839

This bill makes minor, non-substantive changes to existing California law regarding the privacy of driver's license and identification card information. Specifically, it amends a section of the Civil Code that allows businesses and organ procurement organizations to scan or swipe these cards for specific purposes, such as verifying age, complying with legal requirements, or approving payments. The bill clarifies the language used when referring to individuals, changing gendered pronouns to gender-neutral terms like "themselves" and "their," and also updates the phrasing for violations of the section from "constitutes" to "is." The core provisions remain the same: businesses and organ procurement organizations are prohibited from retaining or using scanned information for purposes beyond those explicitly permitted by law, and violations are still considered a misdemeanor.
