Hopefully we get to sue them out of existence this time

#4Are we talking actual data deletion, or just "not serving it up when queried" or attaching a "do not use" flag to the data but keeping it?
Because if there's one thing I've almost never seen, it's data being deleted from a db.

From the bill:
> This bill would provide that a data broker that fails to comply with the requirements pertaining to the accessible deletion mechanism described above is liable for civil penalties, administrative fines, fees, and costs, as specified, and would raise the amount of the existing civil penalty provisions described above. The bill would require that moneys collected or received by the agency and the Department of Justice under these provisions be deposited in the Data Brokers’ Registry Fund, which the bill would require to be administered by the agency, instead of the Consumer Privacy Fund and would expand the specified uses of moneys in the Data Brokers’ Registry Fund to include the costs incurred by the state courts and the agency in connection with enforcing these provisions and the costs of establishing, maintaining, and providing access to the accessible deletion mechanism described above.

From the bill:
> The bill would, beginning January 1, 2028, and every 3 years thereafter, require a data broker to undergo an audit by an independent third party to determine compliance with these provisions and would require the data broker to submit an audit report to the agency upon the agency’s written request, as specified.

#9The legislation appears to be limited to data brokers. While this is nice and welcomed, this also means it doesn't cover entities like Google or Facebook.

I don't think that section answers the question.
