The Tamara Kurtzman Commentaries
On a recent Price of Business, Host Kevin Price visited with California attorney Tamara Kurtzman.
Ads have taken center stage in various pieces of new legislation signed into law this month by California Governor Gavin Newsom. Under one such law, SB 576, streaming services are required to lower the volume of commercial ads that are louder than the programming they accompany. This new legislation expands on the federal 2010 Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act, which requires television providers (but does not apply to streaming services) to prevent commercials from being transmitted at a louder average volume than the programs they interrupt. This month, Governor Newsom also signed the “Opt Me Out Act”, a first-of-its-kind law that will become operative on January 1, 2027 and amends California’s Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 to now require web browsers to provide California consumers with the ability to send a single opt-out preference signal to all businesses with which the consumer interacts through the browser. While these new laws officially only apply to streaming services and browser operators serving California residents, the “California effect” — where regulation in the California market forces businesses to change practices nationwide rather than creating a California-specific product version — means that residents outside of California are also likely to feel the impact of these new California laws.
