GASB 160signed
Reckless Stunt Driving; a motor vehicle involved in a second offense of reckless stunt driving; replace the forfeiture penalty
Georgia SB 160 amends Code Section 40-6-390.1 to replace the vehicle forfeiture penalty for second-offense reckless stunt driving with a court-authorized requirement to install an 'intelligent speed assistance device' (ISAD) on the offender's vehicle. The ISAD must cap the vehicle's speed at no more than 70 mph, be installed within ten days of a court order, and remain on the vehicle for at least three months. Installation and monitoring costs fall on the offender, and operating a vehicle without a court-ordered ISAD constitutes a misdemeanor.
This bill has no substantive relevance to data privacy legislation. It addresses traffic safety and vehicle penalty provisions under Georgia's motor vehicle code, not the collection, storage, use, or protection of personal data. Legal practitioners tracking data privacy developments should note that this bill was included in error under this tracker's topic area. The only tangential data-related element is the Department of Revenue's obligation to maintain records reflecting ISAD orders, but this does not implicate data privacy law in any meaningful regulatory or compliance sense.

California AI Transparency Act.
SB 1000 amends California's existing AI Transparency Act to expand the scope of covered providers by removing the prior threshold of one million monthly users, making the law applicable to any publicly accessible generative AI system in California. The bill replaces the term 'AI detection tool' with 'disclosure verification tool,' eliminates the requirement for providers to offer users the option to include manifest disclosures in AI-generated content, and strengthens latent disclosure requirements to indicate whether content was generated or modified by a GenAI system. It also tightens data minimization obligations for providers operating these tools.
Legal practitioners advising clients in the generative AI space should note that the removal of the one-million-user threshold significantly broadens the class of entities subject to compliance obligations under the California AI Transparency Act, potentially capturing smaller developers and startups. The tightened data minimization language—prohibiting collection of personal information beyond what is 'strictly necessary'—raises the compliance bar and may require revisiting existing privacy policies and data retention practices. Attorneys handling AI product counseling, terms of service drafting, or regulatory compliance work should monitor this bill's progress toward enactment given its urgency statute designation.

Driving under the influence and other driving offenses: comprehensive reform.
SB 907 is a California bill that comprehensively reforms penalties for driving under the influence and related driving offenses. It adds a 3-year sentencing enhancement for each prior DUI conviction within 10 years, increases penalties for hit-and-run violations when the driver has a prior DUI or reckless driving conviction, expands the circumstances under which courts must issue Watson murder advisements, and adjusts felony sentencing ranges for hit-and-run accidents resulting in injury, serious injury, or death.
SB 907 falls outside the scope of a Data Privacy Legislation Tracker, as it addresses DUI sentencing enhancements and hit-and-run penalties rather than data collection, privacy rights, or information security. Legal practitioners using this tracker should note that this bill appears to have been incorrectly categorized. Those practicing in criminal defense, traffic law, or prosecutorial roles may find the bill substantively relevant, but it presents no direct implications for data privacy compliance, consumer data rights, or related regulatory frameworks.
