According to the report, after the bill takes effect, consumers only need to make a request to let all data brokers delete their personal information and stop obtaining and selling such information in the future. After the bill is approved on Thursday, it will be submitted to the governor for consideration.

Most of these companies are various credit reporting agencies, personnel search websites and various data analysis institutions. Due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and wearable devices, "data brokers" can collect and sell users' real-time location information at any time.

However, there are also voices of concern about the bill. Dan Smith, president of the local Consumer data Industry Association, pointed out that the bill is "seriously flawed"-the core of the bill is to "delete personal information in one step", which may be impersonated by malicious people. this will allow consumers to delete their data without permission or knowledge.
