	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1687, as introduced, Calderon. Customer records: age
information: commercial online entertainment employment service
providers.
   Existing law requires a business that owns, licenses, or maintains
personal information about a California resident to implement and
maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to
the nature of the information, to protect the personal information
from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or
disclosure. Existing law provides specified civil penalties for a
violation of these provisions.
   This bill would prohibit a commercial online entertainment
employment service provider, as defined, that enters into a
contractual agreement to provide specified employment services to an
individual paid subscriber from publishing information about the
subscriber's age and would require the provider to remove any
information regarding the subscriber's age from any Internet Web site
under the provider's control if requested by the subscriber.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
