AB 1303 (Valencia) – Passed by the Governor

Lifeline SSN and Data Privacy

Congratulations, and thank you for your help. 1303 has been signed by the Governor!

AB 1303 strengthens privacy protections for California Lifeline Program applicants by making it optional to provide a Social Security number during enrollment. This ensures that more California ratepayers can access affordable phone and broadband services without unnecessary barriers. Additionally, the bill enhances consumer privacy by prohibiting the sharing of customer data with state or federal agencies unless authorized by a judicial warrant from a California judge. By prioritizing accessibility and data security, AB 1303 helps protect vulnerable communities while maintaining strong consumer rights.
