SACRAMENTO – Last week, Senator Steve Padilla (D-San Diego) introduced Senate Bill 1247, which would require content creators who feature their minor children and receive compensation for that content to delete or edit the material if requested by the child after they turn 18.

“Transparency and accountability are foundational to public trust,” said Senator Rubio. “SB 1175 modernizes our lobbying disclosure system, eliminates unnecessary delays, and ensures Californians have clear and timely information about who is advocating before their government. Good governance requires systems that are efficient, transparent, and responsive.”
The bill is sponsored by California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., who stated, “This measure will allow lobbyists to file their registrations directly with my office, providing a more direct and hopefully more convenient process. We expect it to lead to more efficient and timely processing of lobbyist registrations.”
