2025SB 295

Expanding State Micromanagement of Business Algorithms

2025 - California State Assembly

Conservatives Oppose

Description

This bill creates a new regulatory scheme empowering the state to police how businesses use pricing algorithms and coordinate competitive behavior, inviting aggressive bureaucratic intervention into private-sector technology decisions. This bill risks chilling innovation and saddling employers with vague, open-ended compliance burdens. CPAC opposes this expansion of regulatory overreach into private enterprise and opposed this bill. The House defeated this bill on 2025-09-13 by a vote of 13-24. The bill did not become law.
