GoKawiilNewsom vetoes California bill restricting covert recording via smart glasses
California Governor Gavin Newsom rejected Senate Bill 1130, which would have regulated secret recording via wearable devices like smart glasses, citing overly broad definitions and redundancy with existing law. The bill, authored by state senator Eloise Gómez Reyes, would have made California the first state to specifically regulate smart glasses, imposing fines or prison time on violators and noncompliant manufacturers.
