"headTitle": "Ballot Measure to Limit New Taxes Goes Before California Supreme Court | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>California’s top court had tough questions for both sides on Wednesday morning about whether voters should be allowed to weigh in on a sweeping ballot initiative that would make it \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985267/why-cities-call-this-ballot-measure-an-existential-threat\">more difficult for state and local governments to raise taxes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ballot measure, sponsored by business executives and anti-tax groups, would require voters to approve all state and local tax increases — including retroactively applying to any tax approved since January 2022. It also would require the Legislature or local elected leaders to vote to approve all government fees, including library fines and park entrance charges. Dubbed the “Taxpayer Protection Act,” it’s being bankrolled by the California Business Roundtable, a group made up of top executives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic state leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, sued to have the measure taken off the November ballot, claiming that it amounts to a full revision of the state Constitution, not just an amendment. Revisions must be placed on the ballot by either a constitutional convention or a supermajority vote of the state Legislature; this measure was placed on the ballot through the signature-gathering process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justices seemed skeptical at times of both sides’ arguments during Wednesday’s proceedings at the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents, represented in court by Oakland-based attorney Margaret R. Prinzing, argued that the initiative is already hampering state and local governments’ ability to plan because they are crafting budget proposals without knowing whether dozens of taxes approved since 2022 would have to be delayed and put back before voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prinzing said the proposal clearly shifts power from elected officials to the electorate, making it too far-reaching for the normal initiative process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What qualifies a revision as a revision is that it’s a fundamental change in the structure of government and its powers. And that’s what’s happening here,” Prinzing said, noting that the court has previously described the power to tax as “the most vital and essential attribute of government, without which government cannot function.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And what we would be talking about here with this measure is the Legislature would no longer have that power. It would instead be delayed through the voter approval requirement and would be in the hands of a body that is not the Legislature,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Politics Coverage' tag='politics']The court pressed Prinzing on why it should strip the measure from the ballot entirely, limiting voters’ ability to weigh in, instead of waiting to see whether it passes and then staying the law while the court decides its legality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justice Goodwin Liu wondered whether the proposal went so far as to be a constitutional revision, given the state’s long history of sharing the power to tax between elected officials and voters. Prinzing said it’s because the initiative would take away the Legislature’s power to levy taxes “and turn it into a power to propose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The voters and the Legislature obviously operate, occupy different spaces and in the area of taxation,” she said. “This measure would obliterate that distinction when it comes to taxes…. So it’s a revision, and it’s a revision that would occur in ways that would endanger the government’s ability to provide essential government services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas Hiltachk, the Sacramento-based lawyer representing the initiative sponsors, pushed back. When pressed by Liu as to whether the ballot measure shifts California from a republican form of government, where elected officials are granted power, to a direct democracy, Hiltachk argued that the state has never had a purely republican form of government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because our Constitution, since its inception, has stated that all political power is inherent in the people and has stated that the people have the power to reform and alter their government whenever they decide it needs reform,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk also noted that the power to approve taxes has been shared between the electorate and the Legislature “at least since 1911 and the enactment of the initiative referendum power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shared power between the people and the Legislature, so there is no unilateral power of the Legislature to impose taxes,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk was pressed on whether delaying a tax proposal to get voter approval could tie the government’s hands in an emergency situation like the COVID-19 pandemic. And Liu pushed him on the provision that requires all fees to be approved by lawmakers, musing that it would strip power from the executive branch and potentially expand the referendum power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So if a local senior center wants to charge a fee, right, for rental of its facilities, that has to be approved now by the city council, right, in order to do that?” Liu asked. “And it is thus subject to the referendum power. If you want to impose a library fine, and you don’t give individual due process to the person subject to the fine, that too right can be subject to legislative approval? I mean, this is vast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk said the measure would simply return California to a system that existed a century ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have evolved into is an administrative state that has far too much power among non-elected bureaucrats who no one knows their name,” he said, arguing that the Legislature and local elected bodies should have to weigh in. “That’s accountability. That’s not a revision, and that does not impair essential government functions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court will decide by the end of June whether to allow the measure to stay on the November ballot. If it does appear before voters, Democrats and their allies will not only campaign against the initiative but also push two of their own aimed at weakening the Business Roundtable measure’s impacts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One would require that this type of ballot measure pass by a two-thirds majority to take effect instead of the current majority required. Another would make it easier to pass local tax and bond measures related to housing and infrastructure, requiring only a 55% vote instead of two-thirds.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And Liu pushed him on the provision that requires all fees to be approved by lawmakers, musing that it would strip power from the executive branch and potentially expand the referendum power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So if a local senior center wants to charge a fee, right, for rental of its facilities, that has to be approved now by the city council, right, in order to do that?” Liu asked. “And it is thus subject to the referendum power. If you want to impose a library fine, and you don’t give individual due process to the person subject to the fine, that too right can be subject to legislative approval? I mean, this is vast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiltachk said the measure would simply return California to a system that existed a century ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have evolved into is an administrative state that has far too much power among non-elected bureaucrats who no one knows their name,” he said, arguing that the Legislature and local elected bodies should have to weigh in. “That’s accountability. That’s not a revision, and that does not impair essential government functions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court will decide by the end of June whether to allow the measure to stay on the November ballot. If it does appear before voters, Democrats and their allies will not only campaign against the initiative but also push two of their own aimed at weakening the Business Roundtable measure’s impacts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One would require that this type of ballot measure pass by a two-thirds majority to take effect instead of the current majority required. Another would make it easier to pass local tax and bond measures related to housing and infrastructure, requiring only a 55% vote instead of two-thirds.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>School curriculum is usually the purview of education experts, but this fall, it could be decided by California voters, who will vote on adding a new requirement for high school students: a one-semester class in managing personal finances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Secretary of State is poised to certify that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.financialed4ca.com/_files/ugd/ddc900_30f9026dbbfc41da84354dffd0155870.pdf\">California Personal Finance Act\u003c/a> is eligible for the November ballot, which would add financial literacy to the list of high school graduation requirements beginning with the class of 2030.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students would learn about paying for college, online banking, taxes, budgeting, credit, retirement accounts, loans, how the stock market works and other topics. The issue is critical, organizers said, as students face a shifting economy and difficult decisions about college, careers and their futures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one comes out of the womb knowing how to manage their credit score. It has to be taught,” said Tim Ranzetta, co-founder of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ngpf.org/\">personal finance education nonprofit\u003c/a> and a chief backer of the initiative. “And right now, there’s a dramatic gap between what students know and what they need to know. We have to change that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters seem to agree with him. A 2022 \u003ca href=\"https://www.nefe.org/news/2022/04/financial-education-mandates.aspx\">survey\u003c/a> of adults nationwide showed that nearly 90% support a financial literacy requirement in high school, and nearly as many wished they had taken such a course when they were students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not surprising, considering the financial woes many people incur. The average \u003ca href=\"https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/credit-card-debt-statistics/\">credit card debt in California\u003c/a> is $8,366, the sixth-highest rate in the country, and 1 in 6 borrowers nationwide are \u003ca href=\"https://www.newamerica.org/education-policy/edcentral/millions-spend-years-in-student-loan-default/#:~:text=Almost%207%20million%20people%2C%20about,270%20days'%20worth%20of%20payments.\">in default on their student loans\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Financial literacy already in classrooms\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>However, some education experts have pushed back, not because they’re opposed to financial literacy for students but because they question whether voters are best equipped to dictate what’s taught in classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the state’s History-Social Studies framework includes a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/hs/cf/documents/hssfwchapter18.pdf\">one-semester course in economics\u003c/a>, required for graduation, that covers much of the same material proposed by the financial literacy ballot initiative proponents. Financial literacy is also included in the first, second and ninth grade curriculum. First graders, for example, learn that money can be exchanged for goods and services, and people decide how to spend their money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Ranzetta said the curriculum, last updated in 2017, doesn’t focus enough on financial literacy. Personal finance is covered for only a few weeks in the economics course; the rest covers more abstract economic concepts like international trade, resource allocation and the benefits and drawbacks of capitalism. Individual teachers can choose how much they want to focus on certain topics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Superintendent Tony Thurmond wouldn’t answer questions about the ballot initiative, although he endorsed it. Linda Darling-Hammond, president of the State Board of Education, also wouldn’t answer questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Leaving curriculum decisions to voters is ‘a bad idea’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The proposed ballot initiative so far has almost zero opposition, but some are questioning the idea of letting voters — and not education experts — decide what students learn in the classroom. Ordinarily, the curriculum in California is developed by a group of teachers and subject-matter professionals who serve on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/cc/cd/\">Instructional Quality Commission\u003c/a>, which meets publicly six times a year. A new curriculum is subject to multiple reviews, edits and public vetting, ultimately going before the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/\">State Board of Education\u003c/a> for adoption. Local school boards can adjust the curriculum according to the needs of their students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most voters don’t know much about education policy, and having them decide what can be taught in schools is a bad idea,” said Morgan Polikoff, an education professor at the University of Southern California. “We already have a process in place for adopting curriculum, and if people are unhappy with it, there are plenty of avenues to have their voices heard — they can go to meetings, they can vote people out of office, they can talk to their representatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polikoff worries that adopting curriculum through ballot initiatives could set a dangerous precedent. Religious or anti-LGBTQ curriculum, for example, could be approved by voters, setting up costly and lengthy legal showdowns with the state Department of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curriculum can be complicated, as well. When writing new curricula, the Instructional Quality Commission looks at the broader context, ensuring students get new material every year that builds on what they learned previously, subjects don’t overlap and topics are flexible enough for teachers to adapt lessons to the individual needs of their students. Textbooks and tests are also taken into consideration.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Legislature weighs in\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Most curriculum updates and changes originate with the commission, but sometimes the Legislature weighs in. The state’s new \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2021/10/ethnic-studies-requirement/\">ethnic studies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2023/11/fake-news-california-school/\">media literacy\u003c/a> requirements, for example, stemmed from Assembly bills. Another bill, \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2097?slug=CA_202320240AB2097\">AB 2097\u003c/a>, would add computer science as a graduation requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2927?slug=CA_202320240AB2927\">AB 2927\u003c/a>, a financial literacy bill proposed by Democrat \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/legislators/kevin-mccarty-22\">Kevin McCarty\u003c/a> of Sacramento, would actually do almost the same thing as the ballot initiative. The bill would require financial literacy as a graduation requirement, although it would go into effect until 2031, a year later than the ballot measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruce Fuller, an education professor at UC Berkeley, said he worries about the increasing politicization of curriculum — either from the Legislature or those pushing for ballot initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have these political interests unabashedly trying to control what’s taught in the classroom instead of leaving it up to teachers and locally elected school boards,” Fuller said. “We should trust those folks to devise a thoughtful curriculum that’s appropriate for their students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also questioned the ever-growing list of graduation requirements. High schools only offer six or seven class periods a day, and with more required classes, there’s less room for art and other electives. Some districts have started adding an extra period so students can fit in all the classes they need to take to graduate, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2024/04/career-pathways/\">finish a career pathway\u003c/a> and qualify for California’s public universities.[aside postID=news_11984551 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/240423-SAT-III-MD-06-KQED-1020x680.jpg']“I’m not sure how adding more required classes is going to motivate restless teenagers,” Fuller said. “With more requirements, we’re giving them almost no chance to study things they’re actually interested in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarty’s bill is not the Legislature’s first attempt to wade into financial literacy. A dozen bills requiring financial literacy have died or been vetoed in recent years, in most cases because the financial literacy curriculum already exists and the state already has a system for adopting the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Gov. Jerry Brown wrote in 2018 when he \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB858\">vetoed a bill\u003c/a> that would have made financial literacy materials available to teachers: “This bill is unnecessary. The History-Social Science Framework already contains financial literacy content for pupils in kindergarten through grade 12, as well as a financial literacy elective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ranzetta said the Legislature’s inability to pass a financial literacy curriculum spurred him to take the matter directly to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I recognize the value of the process, but it’s slow, and so far, it hasn’t worked in California,” he said. “The issue is too urgent and too popular to wait any longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ranzetta grew up in New Jersey, where his father was a banker, and his mother was a community volunteer who raised six children. He learned financial literacy from his parents and assumed other young people did, too. It wasn’t until he started volunteering at an East Palo Alto high school that he realized many students are clueless about money and that ignorance can hamper them throughout their lives.

The issue is critical, organizers said, as students face a shifting economy and difficult decisions about college, careers and their futures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one comes out of the womb knowing how to manage their credit score. It has to be taught,” said Tim Ranzetta, co-founder of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ngpf.org/\">personal finance education nonprofit\u003c/a> and a chief backer of the initiative. “And right now, there’s a dramatic gap between what students know and what they need to know.

A 2022 \u003ca href=\"https://www.nefe.org/news/2022/04/financial-education-mandates.aspx\">survey\u003c/a> of adults nationwide showed that nearly 90% support a financial literacy requirement in high school, and nearly as many wished they had taken such a course when they were students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not surprising, considering the financial woes many people incur. The average \u003ca href=\"https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/credit-card-debt-statistics/\">credit card debt in California\u003c/a> is $8,366, the sixth-highest rate in the country, and 1 in 6 borrowers nationwide are \u003ca href=\"https://www.newamerica.org/education-policy/edcentral/millions-spend-years-in-student-loan-default/#:~:text=Almost%207%20million%20people%2C%20about,270%20days'%20worth%20of%20payments.\">in default on their student loans\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Financial literacy already in classrooms\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>However, some education experts have pushed back, not because they’re opposed to financial literacy for students but because they question whether voters are best equipped to dictate what’s taught in classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, the state’s History-Social Studies framework includes a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/hs/cf/documents/hssfwchapter18.pdf\">one-semester course in economics\u003c/a>, required for graduation, that covers much of the same material proposed by the financial literacy ballot initiative proponents. Financial literacy is also included in the first, second and ninth grade curriculum. First graders, for example, learn that money can be exchanged for goods and services, and people decide how to spend their money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Ranzetta said the curriculum, last updated in 2017, doesn’t focus enough on financial literacy. Personal finance is covered for only a few weeks in the economics course; the rest covers more abstract economic concepts like international trade, resource allocation and the benefits and drawbacks of capitalism. Individual teachers can choose how much they want to focus on certain topics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Superintendent Tony Thurmond wouldn’t answer questions about the ballot initiative, although he endorsed it. Linda Darling-Hammond, president of the State Board of Education, also wouldn’t answer questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Leaving curriculum decisions to voters is ‘a bad idea’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The proposed ballot initiative so far has almost zero opposition, but some are questioning the idea of letting voters — and not education experts — decide what students learn in the classroom. Ordinarily, the curriculum in California is developed by a group of teachers and subject-matter professionals who serve on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/cc/cd/\">Instructional Quality Commission\u003c/a>, which meets publicly six times a year. A new curriculum is subject to multiple reviews, edits and public vetting, ultimately going before the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/be/\">State Board of Education\u003c/a> for adoption. Local school boards can adjust the curriculum according to the needs of their students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most voters don’t know much about education policy, and having them decide what can be taught in schools is a bad idea,” said Morgan Polikoff, an education professor at the University of Southern California. “We already have a process in place for adopting curriculum, and if people are unhappy with it, there are plenty of avenues to have their voices heard — they can go to meetings, they can vote people out of office, they can talk to their representatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polikoff worries that adopting curriculum through ballot initiatives could set a dangerous precedent. Religious or anti-LGBTQ curriculum, for example, could be approved by voters, setting up costly and lengthy legal showdowns with the state Department of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curriculum can be complicated, as well. When writing new curricula, the Instructional Quality Commission looks at the broader context, ensuring students get new material every year that builds on what they learned previously, subjects don’t overlap and topics are flexible enough for teachers to adapt lessons to the individual needs of their students. Textbooks and tests are also taken into consideration.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Legislature weighs in\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Most curriculum updates and changes originate with the commission, but sometimes the Legislature weighs in. The state’s new \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2021/10/ethnic-studies-requirement/\">ethnic studies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2023/11/fake-news-california-school/\">media literacy\u003c/a> requirements, for example, stemmed from Assembly bills. Another bill, \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2097?slug=CA_202320240AB2097\">AB 2097\u003c/a>, would add computer science as a graduation requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240ab2927?slug=CA_202320240AB2927\">AB 2927\u003c/a>, a financial literacy bill proposed by Democrat \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/legislators/kevin-mccarty-22\">Kevin McCarty\u003c/a> of Sacramento, would actually do almost the same thing as the ballot initiative. The bill would require financial literacy as a graduation requirement, although it would go into effect until 2031, a year later than the ballot measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bruce Fuller, an education professor at UC Berkeley, said he worries about the increasing politicization of curriculum — either from the Legislature or those pushing for ballot initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have these political interests unabashedly trying to control what’s taught in the classroom instead of leaving it up to teachers and locally elected school boards,” Fuller said. “We should trust those folks to devise a thoughtful curriculum that’s appropriate for their students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also questioned the ever-growing list of graduation requirements. High schools only offer six or seven class periods a day, and with more required classes, there’s less room for art and other electives. Some districts have started adding an extra period so students can fit in all the classes they need to take to graduate, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/k-12-education/2024/04/career-pathways/\">finish a career pathway\u003c/a> and qualify for California’s public universities.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A dozen bills requiring financial literacy have died or been vetoed in recent years, in most cases because the financial literacy curriculum already exists and the state already has a system for adopting the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Gov. Jerry Brown wrote in 2018 when he \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB858\">vetoed a bill\u003c/a> that would have made financial literacy materials available to teachers: “This bill is unnecessary. The History-Social Science Framework already contains financial literacy content for pupils in kindergarten through grade 12, as well as a financial literacy elective.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ranzetta said the Legislature’s inability to pass a financial literacy curriculum spurred him to take the matter directly to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I recognize the value of the process, but it’s slow, and so far, it hasn’t worked in California,” he said. “The issue is too urgent and too popular to wait any longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ranzetta grew up in New Jersey, where his father was a banker, and his mother was a community volunteer who raised six children. He learned financial literacy from his parents and assumed other young people did, too. It wasn’t until he started volunteering at an East Palo Alto high school that he realized many students are clueless about money and that ignorance can hamper them throughout their lives. But they were eager to learn, he said, and share the information with their parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That experience inspired him to start NextGen Personal Finance, which offers free financial literacy curriculum and training for teachers.

However, California Forever had to submit just over 13,000 signatures to get on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solano County Registrar’s Office confirmed with KQED that they had received the signatures early Tuesday morning. The company claims it collected over 20,000 signatures, but the registrar’s office will spend the next five days counting each signature individually to make sure they have enough to qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s announcement marked a turning point in a campaign that’s been controversial from the start. Despite \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11972769/not-just-a-crazy-idea-california-forever-releases-ballot-details-for-new-bay-area-city\">revealing the ballot initiative\u003c/a> in mid-January, California Forever didn’t begin collecting signatures until late March due to back-and-forth with the registrar’s office over the ballot language. The company also faced accusations that the firm it hired to gather signatures, PCI Consultants, was misrepresenting the initiative and manipulating voters into signing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Forever has denied those allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Jan Sramek, CEO of California Forever, characterized the speedy signature-gathering effort as an endorsement for the plan itself, noting workers gathered 7,000 more signatures than required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That number reflects the breadth and depth of support for the East Solano plan across Solano County, from all walks of life, all parts of the county who are saying the same thing: Yes,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Paul Mitchell, who heads the political polling organization Redistricting Partners, said signature gathering can be done quickly — if you’re willing to pay for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These signature firms, when they have the resources to hire staff, don’t fail in collecting signatures,” he said. “The signature-gathering process is very mechanical. So if you have the resources to pay for all those mechanics, you’ll be fine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Secretary of State’s Office did not confirm or deny whether it was investigating any formal complaints against California Forever, a spokesperson at the Solano County Registrar’s Office said at least nine people had emailed the office, complaining about misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vacaville resident Tina Collins said she saw that conduct first-hand in early April from a signature gatherer standing outside a Walmart Supercenter in Dixon. She said the worker handed her several pieces of paper to sign, but she was confused about what she was approving. When she refused to sign the documents, she said the signature gatherer followed her to her car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I felt extremely uncomfortable,” she said. “I haven’t heard much about [California Forever], but from what I’ve heard, I don’t think it’s promising.”[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='housing']California Forever may have an uphill battle ahead of them as they seek approval from voters, who have been deeply skeptical of the plan since it was unveiled last August. It, along with its parent company, Flannery Associates, were forced to reveal their identities after spending the past six years \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11970694/california-forever-lawsuit-looms-as-solano-county-farmers-fight-back\">discreetly buying about 60,000 acres of land\u003c/a> in the Montezuma Hills. Since going public, California Forever has been met with harsh criticism from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11976108/california-forever-faces-resistance-from-federal-lawmakers-and-local-leaders-in-solano-county\">several lawmakers\u003c/a>, affordable housing advocates and residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A poll conducted in early March by FM3 Research on behalf of the Greenbelt Alliance, an organization staunchly opposed to the project, found that 60% of people aware of the company’s plan opposed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite vocal naysayers, some Solano County voters are supportive.

Of the nine counties, Modoc and Lassen have the highest percentage of underprepared teachers at 14% and 17% respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Underprepared teachers work on intern credentials or emergency-style permits that don’t require them to complete teacher training, or on waivers that allow them to teach a subject outside their credential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the state requires that districts only hire underprepared teachers if fully qualified teachers are not available, high rates of underprepared teachers are an indicator that districts in that county are struggling to recruit and hire qualified teachers, said UCLA researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rural teachers scarce\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There could be many reasons teachers are hard to find in rural areas, including fewer nearby institutions of higher education, which leads to a lower than average percentage of residents with bachelor’s degrees and therefore a smaller pool of potential teacher candidates, according to the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Counties that border other states and countries also have significantly higher teacher vacancy rates compared with nonborder districts, said Hui Huang, a researcher on the project. All nine of the California counties classified as teacher education deserts are bordered by either Oregon, Nevada, Arizona or Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rural school districts face significant challenges in recruiting and retaining teachers,” said Yuri Calderon, executive director of the Small School Districts’ Association. “In addition to the proximity to teacher educational programs, rural communities face challenges related to competition from higher urban compensation schedules, housing shortages and a lack of support resources commonly found in urban areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rural counties also lose talented young residents who go to urban and suburban areas for more opportunity, Huang said. In small districts, the loss of even one teacher can impact course availability for students, according to \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/blog/teacher-shortages-take-center-stage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learning Policy Institute\u003c/a> research.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teacher shortage affects students\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The geographic location of a school district plays a significant role in teacher recruitment and retention, and ultimately in the educational outcomes of the district’s students, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students in each of these counties, except Mono, fell below the state average on the English language arts portion of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, also known as CAASPP, in the 2022–23 school year. All nine counties fell below the state average of students who meet standards on the math portion of the test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-performing schools may struggle to attract teachers due to negative public perceptions, Huang said. Research also indicates that highly qualified educators are substantially more likely to leave low-performing schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time for creative solutions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>School districts in Mono County have had to get creative to fill teacher positions, despite their prime location near Yosemite National Park and Mammoth Lakes, said Stacey Adler, Mono County superintendent of schools. One district with a dual-immersion program hired teachers from South America to fill open teaching positions, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The high cost of housing and a growing disinterest in the profession among young people are the biggest hurdles to hiring new teachers in Mono County, Adler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have got to start them early because, quite frankly, there aren’t a lot of kids that say they want to be teachers these days,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adler taught child development at Mammoth High School for two years in an attempt to get students interested in teaching, she said. Now the school plans to use a portion of a recent grant to develop a K–12 education pathway at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our rural students and our rural teacher workforce, as small as it is, is suffering,” said Annamarie Francois, associate dean of public engagement at UCLA and a member of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. “We have a responsibility and an obligation to our community to bring our creative solutions and innovations to bear on those parts of our state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One answer may be creating teacher credentialing programs at community colleges in these counties, according to the study. Although all nine teaching education deserts are not located near a university teacher preparation program, five are within 60 miles of a community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early childhood education programs already in place at community colleges could be expanded to K–12 licensing programs, according to the report. The state could also work with county offices of education to develop residency programs so that teacher candidates could earn a credential without leaving the area to take classes or to student teach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Multiple states, like Florida, Texas and Washington, already offer similar credentialing pathways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Expanding local college programs to include K–12 certification, particularly at community colleges, can be a positive solution to address the challenges faced by rural school districts,” Small School Districts’ Association Director Calderon said. “By growing teachers from within these communities, rural districts can improve recruitment and retention efforts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11928042,news_11923873,news_11918450\"]Although the study recommended that community college credentialing programs focus on residents who already hold bachelor’s degrees, Steve Bautista of the Center for Teacher Education at Santa Ana College suggested that the 39 bachelor’s degrees already being offered in community colleges be expanded to include degrees that could lead to teacher preparation programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Five of the nine TEP deserts will fall away if we were able to utilize, in some capacity, community colleges to license teachers,” UCLA’s Mathews said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA researchers also recommend that the state take a comprehensive approach to recruiting and retaining teachers in these counties, including financial support, mentorship programs and professional development targeted to rural teachers. County offices of education should also collaborate to develop a regional marketing campaign to recruit teachers, according to the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State policy would have to change to put many of these programs in place, Francois said.

"content": "\u003cp>In an effort to address crime, San José is rapidly blanketing the city with hundreds of automated license plate readers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Matt Mahan helped install the city’s 235th device this week and said San José aims to have 500 up and running by the summer. Leaders say the ALPRs from Atlanta-based Flock Safety are a critical support for investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has already proven an incredible tool for our thinly staffed police department,” Mahan said Tuesday during a press conference in East San José where a new ALPR was being installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the network of cameras in 2023 alone helped recover $2 million worth of stolen vehicles and led to the arrests of nearly 200 people suspected of crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Police Chief Paul Joseph said the ALPRs have been invaluable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These cameras make a difference by helping to identify and apprehend suspects, curbing criminal activity and providing crime victims with a feeling of closure and justice,” Joseph said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, some privacy advocates and residents say the cameras aren’t actually effective at reducing crime and instead create massive logs about the movements of locals and visitors. They worry about the amount of data police are keeping, the length of time it’s retained, and how it is shared across law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Complicated issues like safety deserve really well thought out and focused solutions,” said Nick Hidalgo, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Installing hundreds of expensive devices that effectively turn San José into a surveillance city is like using a bazooka instead of a fly swatter. It’s expensive, unnecessary, ineffective and does a lot more harm than good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Flock devices capture not only license plates but also a car’s make and model and other characteristics like customizations or bumper stickers. Flock’s software pings police when a car matching a “hotlist” crosses the path of the cameras, and police can also search the data logs for specific cars and plates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say the cameras do not have facial recognition features, nor do they photograph inside a car. City officials said they are proud of the data privacy protections San José follows and noted that the data, under state law requirements, is only shared with other California law enforcement agencies and is prohibited from being used for immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danny Garza, a 65-year resident of East San José’s Plata Arroyo neighborhood, trusted the police to handle the information securely and said he and others have requested cameras be put up in the area for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re asking that these license plate readers help protect layer upon layer of community gains,” Garza said. “All we’re interested in is community safety. We’ve had shootings in the past, and they’ve gotten away. Nobody knows where they went.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though police leaders say the technology is effective and has helped capture people suspected of car theft, rape, and homicide, among other crimes, the department declined to use a specific metric to measure the success of the program over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11984099\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11984099\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg\" alt=\"A white middle aged man speaks into microphones wearing a blue suit and a white collared shirt with no tie.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San José Mayor Matt Mahan during a press conference in East San José where a new ALPR was being installed on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We like to measure our success in terms of usefulness in our pursuit of public safety by solving and reducing crime,” Sgt. Jorge Garibay, a department spokesperson, told KQED in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Crime trends fluctuate, as do crime types. What most of these have in common is a mode of transportation to and from the scene of crime. When that mode is a vehicle, ALPR success is achieved when a hit has been broadcasted and officers have a tangible lead to follow up on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cameras installed to date — 241 of them as of this writing — are already amassing huge troves of data about the cars driving in San José. The current camera network has detected nearly 3 million unique cars per month, according to the city’s Flock portal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just an 18-day period in December 2022, the city’s cameras captured nearly 16 million total scans, which can include multiple scans of the same vehicle in different locations, according to police. The total scans will only increase as the city’s arsenal of cameras more than doubles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It casts a net over the entire community, tracking where drivers go and allowing law enforcement to, if they chose, create maps of where drivers work, live, worship, seek medical care, and travel,” said Hidalgo of ACLU Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His research into San José’s ALPR program from 2022 showed that more than 99.99% of the plates scanned do not match any hotlists for police. If the car or plate is not implicated in an investigation, the SJPD then keeps every plate scanned for a year before purging it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many law enforcement agencies using similar Flock systems purge license plate data every 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hidalgo said it’s not just invasive that police track that much data on people who aren’t suspected of any crimes, but by keeping it for a year, the city puts the data at further risk for misuse or to be inadvertently disclosed in a data breach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph, the police chief, said the department keeps the data for one year based on the recommendation of the city attorney’s office, indicating the law requires it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11983106,news_11983119,news_11966615\"]Albert Gehami, San José’s privacy officer, said the city is aware other agencies do not keep similar data for as long as San José does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it has nothing to do with an investigation, a year is excessive,” Gehami said of the data. “Police departments up and down, everyone that we speak to, [say] there is no need for that information. It is strictly what our attorney’s office has decided is the current interpretation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Attorney Nora Frimann said the retention period has been in place for more than a decade, going back to when the police department trialed other license plate reader technology and before the state required cities to have formal ALPR policies in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just made sense to keep it for a year,” Frimann said. However, she noted the retention time is a policy question that the city council can change if it sees fit. “As a city, we can revisit the time frame,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extra time San José police choose to keep the data also costs the city more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José police could not immediately provide total cost estimates for the program but noted that each camera costs the city about $2,500 per year to lease from Flock, along with a $350 one-time fee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flock’s head of policy and communication, Josh Thomas, said San José pays an extra $300 per camera each year for the longer data retention periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They worry about the amount of data police are keeping, the length of time it’s retained, and how it is shared across law enforcement agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Complicated issues like safety deserve really well thought out and focused solutions,” said Nick Hidalgo, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Installing hundreds of expensive devices that effectively turn San José into a surveillance city is like using a bazooka instead of a fly swatter. It’s expensive, unnecessary, ineffective and does a lot more harm than good.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Flock devices capture not only license plates but also a car’s make and model and other characteristics like customizations or bumper stickers. Flock’s software pings police when a car matching a “hotlist” crosses the path of the cameras, and police can also search the data logs for specific cars and plates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say the cameras do not have facial recognition features, nor do they photograph inside a car. City officials said they are proud of the data privacy protections San José follows and noted that the data, under state law requirements, is only shared with other California law enforcement agencies and is prohibited from being used for immigration enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danny Garza, a 65-year resident of East San José’s Plata Arroyo neighborhood, trusted the police to handle the information securely and said he and others have requested cameras be put up in the area for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re asking that these license plate readers help protect layer upon layer of community gains,” Garza said. “All we’re interested in is community safety. We’ve had shootings in the past, and they’ve gotten away. Nobody knows where they went.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though police leaders say the technology is effective and has helped capture people suspected of car theft, rape, and homicide, among other crimes, the department declined to use a specific metric to measure the success of the program over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11984099\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11984099\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg\" alt=\"A white middle aged man speaks into microphones wearing a blue suit and a white collared shirt with no tie.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San José Mayor Matt Mahan during a press conference in East San José where a new ALPR was being installed on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We like to measure our success in terms of usefulness in our pursuit of public safety by solving and reducing crime,” Sgt. Jorge Garibay, a department spokesperson, told KQED in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Crime trends fluctuate, as do crime types. What most of these have in common is a mode of transportation to and from the scene of crime. When that mode is a vehicle, ALPR success is achieved when a hit has been broadcasted and officers have a tangible lead to follow up on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cameras installed to date — 241 of them as of this writing — are already amassing huge troves of data about the cars driving in San José. The current camera network has detected nearly 3 million unique cars per month, according to the city’s Flock portal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just an 18-day period in December 2022, the city’s cameras captured nearly 16 million total scans, which can include multiple scans of the same vehicle in different locations, according to police. The total scans will only increase as the city’s arsenal of cameras more than doubles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It casts a net over the entire community, tracking where drivers go and allowing law enforcement to, if they chose, create maps of where drivers work, live, worship, seek medical care, and travel,” said Hidalgo of ACLU Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His research into San José’s ALPR program from 2022 showed that more than 99.99% of the plates scanned do not match any hotlists for police. If the car or plate is not implicated in an investigation, the SJPD then keeps every plate scanned for a year before purging it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many law enforcement agencies using similar Flock systems purge license plate data every 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hidalgo said it’s not just invasive that police track that much data on people who aren’t suspected of any crimes, but by keeping it for a year, the city puts the data at further risk for misuse or to be inadvertently disclosed in a data breach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph, the police chief, said the department keeps the data for one year based on the recommendation of the city attorney’s office, indicating the law requires it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is strictly what our attorney’s office has decided is the current interpretation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Attorney Nora Frimann said the retention period has been in place for more than a decade, going back to when the police department trialed other license plate reader technology and before the state required cities to have formal ALPR policies in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just made sense to keep it for a year,” Frimann said.

If you attended certain houses of worship or patronized particular pharmacies, the data broker known as Outlogic allegedly sold that information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near Intelligence \u003ca href=\"https://themarkup.org/privacy/2024/02/23/what-happens-to-your-sensitive-data-when-a-data-broker-goes-bankrupt\">filed for bankruptcy\u003c/a> in December. Outlogic agreed to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/X-ModeSocialDecisionandOrder.pdf\">settlement\u003c/a> with the Federal Trade Commission to stop selling user location data while insisting regulators had found \u003ca href=\"https://news.bloomberglaw.com/privacy-and-data-security/ftc-reaches-first-settlement-banning-location-data-tracking\">“no misuse of any data.”\u003c/a> Both were among nearly 90 companies on the latest version of the \u003ca href=\"https://cppa.ca.gov/data_broker_registry/\">California data broker registry\u003c/a> that self-reported selling data about where people are or have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time this year, California requires data brokers — companies that knowingly collect and sell consumer’s data to third parties — to report if they collect location data. New state transparency requirements that kicked in this year also revealed that roughly two dozen companies collect personal data about children, and about a dozen collect reproductive health data about people who are pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do data brokers somewhere have data about you? Almost certainly. Almost everywhere you go on your digital journey will collect traces of information about you. If you’ve been on the internet in the past few years, you’ve probably seen a bunch of notices asking if it’s okay for the website you’re on to collect your “cookies” — information that allows the website to remember you, essentially. Some apps on your phone may track your location. It’s hard to precisely say what information about you is where because there are so many variables — your privacy settings, the sites you visit, what you buy and from whom, etc. — but data brokers are in the business of finding, collecting, and selling that data to other businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brokers sell your web activity and other personal information to companies that may target advertising to you\u003cem>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>or make important decisions about your life, such as \u003ca href=\"https://themarkup.org/locked-out/2020/05/28/access-denied-faulty-automated-background-checks-freeze-out-renters\">whether you get an apartment\u003c/a>, whether your activity is \u003ca href=\"https://epic.org/pondera-surveillance/\">labeled fraudulent\u003c/a>, or how \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technology/carmakers-driver-tracking-insurance.html\">insurance companies treat you\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The market is largely unregulated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Selling data about people is the cornerstone of the modern internet economy, powering targeted advertising based on insights gleaned from personal data. Media investment company GroupM forecasted $258 billion in digital advertising revenue this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To give people visibility into who sells their data for profit, four years ago, California started requiring data brokers to register once a year. Since then, a new registry has come out each year based on those submissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest registry debuted one month ago with more detailed information and is now maintained by a relatively new state agency. A law passed last fall introduces new consumer rights and more stringent requirements for brokers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some important things to know:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How can data brokers harm you or your loved ones?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Data brokers can sell data to bad actors, ranging from scam artists to adversarial foreign governments. In testimony to a congressional committee one year ago, Georgetown Law Center associate professor Laura Moy said data brokers selling information to law enforcement agencies could amount to a violation of the Fourth Amendment right to live free from unreasonable search and seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Beijing to Brussels to Washington D.C. and U.S. state capitals, government regulators are creating registries and business reporting rules to prevent privacy violations or harmful forms of artificial intelligence. Privacy advocates have urged the creation of a national data broker registry with the Federal Trade Commission for years, but no such registry exists yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who protects my privacy rights?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California voters passed a ballot measure in 2020 that gives consumers the right to access information collected about them, delete or modify that information, or tell a broker they cannot sell or share that information. Consumers can initiate the process by emailing the point of contact \u003ca href=\"https://cppa.ca.gov/data_broker_registry/\">listed on the registry website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, they must present a copy of their ID, like a driver’s license, to prove who they are. Consumers and people under 18 can also work with an authorized agent, someone who makes data deletion requests on their behalf. Companies like Transcend and nonprofit organizations like Consumer Reports offer consumer data deletion services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To enforce these rights, the ballot measure created the California Privacy Protection Agency and a five-member board to govern its activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies that buy, sell, or share the personal data of at least 100,000 Californians or get a majority of annual revenue from selling data are required to comply with the consumer privacy law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What’s new?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The most recent changes to California’s data broker registry — which took effect in January — require brokers to disclose whether they sell data about children, pregnant people, or anyone’s geolocation data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, relatively soon — at the speed at which state governments operate — consumers should be able to delete data collected about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, consumers must go to hundreds of data brokers one at a time if they want them to delete their data.[aside postID=news_11947039 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/04/RS40986_iStock-1170728885-qut-1020x680.jpg']Last fall, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb362?slug=CA_202320240SB362\">the Delete Act\u003c/a> giving consumers a way to delete data from all registered brokers by using a single tool or website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the law — authored by state Sen. Josh Becker, a Democrat from Menlo Park — the state’s privacy agency must launch a website by 2026 that allows Californians to delete their data in 30 seconds or less. The Delete Act doubles the cost if data brokers fail to register to $200 a day, as well as the costs associated with an action brought by the state attorney general. By 2028, audits must verify that data brokers are complying with the Delete Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other major change is that the Delete Act requires brokers to delete any information they collect about a consumer, not just information shared directly from a consumer, closing what privacy advocates called a crucial loophole that existed in the right to delete granted to consumers under the California Consumer Privacy Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also shifts responsibility for maintaining the registry from the Department of Justice to the California Privacy Protection Agency. That means that the power to determine which companies fail to register and comply with state privacy law or the Delete Act is decided by enforcement officers within that privacy agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s up to the agency to decide whether companies should register as data brokers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The enforcement division has received more than 1,200 complaints from July 2023 to February 2024, according to a staff update \u003ca href=\"https://www.cppa.ca.gov/meetings/materials/20240308_item6_enforcement_update.pdf\">last month\u003c/a>. The majority of those complaints concern the right to delete data collected about individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is California’s data broker registry comprehensive?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Since data brokers do not have a direct relationship with consumers, most people have never heard of companies that buy and sell data. But the registry is not comprehensive, not yet at least.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The registry that launched March 1 includes roughly 450 businesses and email points of contact. Brokers were required to register by Jan. 31, but in a meeting held in February, privacy protection agency attorney Liz Travis Allen warned: “If you look at the whole universe of every data broker, we don’t have that list. But that would be something we can enforce on, to figure out who isn’t registered and should be.”[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='privacy']The \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/data-brokers\">2023 registry maintained by the state Justice Department\u003c/a> listed 550 companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy Rights Clearinghouse head of privacy Emory Roane was a co-sponsor of the Delete Act. He said it’s “really cool” that the privacy protection agency data broker registry illuminates metrics you couldn’t see before, like the number of companies that track your location or collect data about kids and people who are pregnant or that the credit score agency Experian collects all three. But he said the registry is incomplete. The state of Vermont defines a data broker the same way as California, also \u003ca href=\"https://sos.vermont.gov/corporations/other-services/data-brokers/\">maintains a data broker registry\u003c/a>, and created its registry around the same time as California, but it lists 660 companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That discrepancy “suggests that there is a problem with non-registered data brokers,” he told CalMatters in an email. “As to how many brokers aren’t registered, well, that’s anyone’s guess. It could be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A January \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/privacy/each-facebook-user-is-monitored-by-thousands-of-companies-a5824207467/#:~:text=Using%20a%20panel%20of%20709,to%20Facebook%20by%202%2C230%20companies.\">Consumer Reports study\u003c/a> involving nearly 700 volunteers who shared the data Meta collects about them on Facebook and Instagram found that more than 2,220 companies track the average person.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How can I tell a data broker to delete my data?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Each company maintains its own privacy policy, but deleting the data it collects on you can be as simple as sending an email to the broker, whose contact email is listed on the registry. California law requires the broker to respond within 90 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also use third-party tools like \u003ca href=\"https://permissionslipcr.com/\">the Permission Slip app\u003c/a> to tell data brokers to delete your data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brokers must detail how to delete or modify data in a privacy policy listed on their website. If a business fails to act within 90 days, you can \u003ca href=\"https://cppa.ca.gov/webapplications/complaint\">file a complaint\u003c/a> with California’s privacy protection agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To quickly view the complete list of companies that sell kids data, reproductive health data, or geolocation data, toggle the arrow buttons at the top of the screen on California’s online registry site.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How do I delete data collected about my kid?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A parent or guardian who wishes to make a deletion request on a child’s behalf may follow the same steps necessary for any other Californian, but a business may require them to verify their identity with a government-issued ID card or phone or video call with a trained professional.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What’s next in California?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The state’s privacy protection agency is already developing a single-click data deletion option. The enforcement division will contact companies they believe should be part of the registry or face fines, fees, or legal action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How aggressive will California’s consumer privacy agency be? One test is how frequently it issues fines and fees for brokers who fail to register. Privacy Protection Agency deputy director of external affairs, Megan White, wouldn’t say when enforcement officers will contact companies that they determined must register as data brokers and are in violation of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roane said he hopes for and expects “eager enforcers more vigilantly holding non-registering and non-conforming data brokers to account.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, California will begin requiring data brokers to publicly report on their websites the number of requests they receive to delete, modify, or share what data they collected about individuals and the median amount of time it takes to fulfill those requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

If you attended certain houses of worship or patronized particular pharmacies, the data broker known as Outlogic allegedly sold that information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Near Intelligence \u003ca href=\"https://themarkup.org/privacy/2024/02/23/what-happens-to-your-sensitive-data-when-a-data-broker-goes-bankrupt\">filed for bankruptcy\u003c/a> in December. Outlogic agreed to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/X-ModeSocialDecisionandOrder.pdf\">settlement\u003c/a> with the Federal Trade Commission to stop selling user location data while insisting regulators had found \u003ca href=\"https://news.bloomberglaw.com/privacy-and-data-security/ftc-reaches-first-settlement-banning-location-data-tracking\">“no misuse of any data.”\u003c/a> Both were among nearly 90 companies on the latest version of the \u003ca href=\"https://cppa.ca.gov/data_broker_registry/\">California data broker registry\u003c/a> that self-reported selling data about where people are or have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time this year, California requires data brokers — companies that knowingly collect and sell consumer’s data to third parties — to report if they collect location data. New state transparency requirements that kicked in this year also revealed that roughly two dozen companies collect personal data about children, and about a dozen collect reproductive health data about people who are pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do data brokers somewhere have data about you? Almost certainly. Almost everywhere you go on your digital journey will collect traces of information about you. If you’ve been on the internet in the past few years, you’ve probably seen a bunch of notices asking if it’s okay for the website you’re on to collect your “cookies” — information that allows the website to remember you, essentially. Some apps on your phone may track your location. It’s hard to precisely say what information about you is where because there are so many variables — your privacy settings, the sites you visit, what you buy and from whom, etc. — but data brokers are in the business of finding, collecting, and selling that data to other businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Media investment company GroupM forecasted $258 billion in digital advertising revenue this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To give people visibility into who sells their data for profit, four years ago, California started requiring data brokers to register once a year. Since then, a new registry has come out each year based on those submissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest registry debuted one month ago with more detailed information and is now maintained by a relatively new state agency. A law passed last fall introduces new consumer rights and more stringent requirements for brokers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some important things to know:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How can data brokers harm you or your loved ones?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Data brokers can sell data to bad actors, ranging from scam artists to adversarial foreign governments. In testimony to a congressional committee one year ago, Georgetown Law Center associate professor Laura Moy said data brokers selling information to law enforcement agencies could amount to a violation of the Fourth Amendment right to live free from unreasonable search and seizure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Beijing to Brussels to Washington D.C. and U.S. state capitals, government regulators are creating registries and business reporting rules to prevent privacy violations or harmful forms of artificial intelligence. Privacy advocates have urged the creation of a national data broker registry with the Federal Trade Commission for years, but no such registry exists yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who protects my privacy rights?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California voters passed a ballot measure in 2020 that gives consumers the right to access information collected about them, delete or modify that information, or tell a broker they cannot sell or share that information. Consumers can initiate the process by emailing the point of contact \u003ca href=\"https://cppa.ca.gov/data_broker_registry/\">listed on the registry website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, they must present a copy of their ID, like a driver’s license, to prove who they are. Consumers and people under 18 can also work with an authorized agent, someone who makes data deletion requests on their behalf. Companies like Transcend and nonprofit organizations like Consumer Reports offer consumer data deletion services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To enforce these rights, the ballot measure created the California Privacy Protection Agency and a five-member board to govern its activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies that buy, sell, or share the personal data of at least 100,000 Californians or get a majority of annual revenue from selling data are required to comply with the consumer privacy law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What’s new?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The most recent changes to California’s data broker registry — which took effect in January — require brokers to disclose whether they sell data about children, pregnant people, or anyone’s geolocation data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, relatively soon — at the speed at which state governments operate — consumers should be able to delete data collected about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, consumers must go to hundreds of data brokers one at a time if they want them to delete their data.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gavin Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/bills/ca_202320240sb362?slug=CA_202320240SB362\">the Delete Act\u003c/a> giving consumers a way to delete data from all registered brokers by using a single tool or website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the law — authored by state Sen. Josh Becker, a Democrat from Menlo Park — the state’s privacy agency must launch a website by 2026 that allows Californians to delete their data in 30 seconds or less. The Delete Act doubles the cost if data brokers fail to register to $200 a day, as well as the costs associated with an action brought by the state attorney general. By 2028, audits must verify that data brokers are complying with the Delete Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other major change is that the Delete Act requires brokers to delete any information they collect about a consumer, not just information shared directly from a consumer, closing what privacy advocates called a crucial loophole that existed in the right to delete granted to consumers under the California Consumer Privacy Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law also shifts responsibility for maintaining the registry from the Department of Justice to the California Privacy Protection Agency. That means that the power to determine which companies fail to register and comply with state privacy law or the Delete Act is decided by enforcement officers within that privacy agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s up to the agency to decide whether companies should register as data brokers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The enforcement division has received more than 1,200 complaints from July 2023 to February 2024, according to a staff update \u003ca href=\"https://www.cppa.ca.gov/meetings/materials/20240308_item6_enforcement_update.pdf\">last month\u003c/a>. The majority of those complaints concern the right to delete data collected about individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is California’s data broker registry comprehensive?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Since data brokers do not have a direct relationship with consumers, most people have never heard of companies that buy and sell data. But the registry is not comprehensive, not yet at least.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The registry that launched March 1 includes roughly 450 businesses and email points of contact. Brokers were required to register by Jan. 31, but in a meeting held in February, privacy protection agency attorney Liz Travis Allen warned: “If you look at the whole universe of every data broker, we don’t have that list. But that would be something we can enforce on, to figure out who isn’t registered and should be.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said it’s “really cool” that the privacy protection agency data broker registry illuminates metrics you couldn’t see before, like the number of companies that track your location or collect data about kids and people who are pregnant or that the credit score agency Experian collects all three. But he said the registry is incomplete. The state of Vermont defines a data broker the same way as California, also \u003ca href=\"https://sos.vermont.gov/corporations/other-services/data-brokers/\">maintains a data broker registry\u003c/a>, and created its registry around the same time as California, but it lists 660 companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That discrepancy “suggests that there is a problem with non-registered data brokers,” he told CalMatters in an email. “As to how many brokers aren’t registered, well, that’s anyone’s guess. It could be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A January \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/privacy/each-facebook-user-is-monitored-by-thousands-of-companies-a5824207467/#:~:text=Using%20a%20panel%20of%20709,to%20Facebook%20by%202%2C230%20companies.\">Consumer Reports study\u003c/a> involving nearly 700 volunteers who shared the data Meta collects about them on Facebook and Instagram found that more than 2,220 companies track the average person.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How can I tell a data broker to delete my data?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Each company maintains its own privacy policy, but deleting the data it collects on you can be as simple as sending an email to the broker, whose contact email is listed on the registry. California law requires the broker to respond within 90 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also use third-party tools like \u003ca href=\"https://permissionslipcr.com/\">the Permission Slip app\u003c/a> to tell data brokers to delete your data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brokers must detail how to delete or modify data in a privacy policy listed on their website. If a business fails to act within 90 days, you can \u003ca href=\"https://cppa.ca.gov/webapplications/complaint\">file a complaint\u003c/a> with California’s privacy protection agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To quickly view the complete list of companies that sell kids data, reproductive health data, or geolocation data, toggle the arrow buttons at the top of the screen on California’s online registry site.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How do I delete data collected about my kid?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A parent or guardian who wishes to make a deletion request on a child’s behalf may follow the same steps necessary for any other Californian, but a business may require them to verify their identity with a government-issued ID card or phone or video call with a trained professional.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What’s next in California?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The state’s privacy protection agency is already developing a single-click data deletion option. The enforcement division will contact companies they believe should be part of the registry or face fines, fees, or legal action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How aggressive will California’s consumer privacy agency be? One test is how frequently it issues fines and fees for brokers who fail to register. Privacy Protection Agency deputy director of external affairs, Megan White, wouldn’t say when enforcement officers will contact companies that they determined must register as data brokers and are in violation of the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roane said he hopes for and expects “eager enforcers more vigilantly holding non-registering and non-conforming data brokers to account.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, California will begin requiring data brokers to publicly report on their websites the number of requests they receive to delete, modify, or share what data they collected about individuals and the median amount of time it takes to fulfill those requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
