SF 3098

As amended on 3/18/2026: - Prohibits surveillance-based price discrimination. - Creates exceptions when price differences are based on legitimate cost factors like delivery distance, timing, or consumer-selected options, discounts for clearly defined group, insurers using risk-based data in automated systems, and decisions to deny credit or transactions based on consumer report data. - Prohibits surveillance-based wage discrimination. - Exempts wages based only on worker-specific, job-related data or differences in the cost of providing labor, and if the employer clearly discloses how an automated system uses data to set wages before hiring. - Requires businesses using automated decision systems for pricing or wages to adopt and publish procedures that ensure data accuracy, allow individuals to correct or challenge data, and provide transparency about what data is used and how it affects decisions. - The original version of this bill related to surveillance pricing, but the 3/18/2026 amendment added provisions on surveillance-based wages.
