Companies couldn't use surveillance data to set personalized prices for shoppers or to drive different wage offers to workers. Both AG enforcement and a private right of action.

Prohibits using surveillance data in automated decision systems to determine individualized pricing for consumers or wage determinations for employees. AG enforcement with private right of action.

Analyst read

The Senate extended the committee and third-reading deadline to May 22, then re-referred SB 2255 and its committee amendment to Assignments under Rule 3-9(a) on May 22, 2026. Neither cleared committee or received a Senate floor vote during the spring session. Its proposed limits on surveillance-based pricing and wage decisions are not current employer obligations.

Enforcement

AG enforcement + private right of action

Amendments

  • Amendment 1 · February 24, 2026 · Filed, not adopted Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 by Peters — narrowing scope of 'surveillance data' and clarifying private right of action; heard but not adopted as of Apr 24
