California SB44 regulates the use of neural data collected through brain-computer interfaces by businesses.

California SB44 adds a section to the Civil Code, specifying that businesses using brain-computer interfaces must use collected neural data only for the intended purpose. It defines "brain-computer interface" as a system enabling direct communication between a person's brain and an external device. The bill mandates that businesses delete neural data once the collection purpose is fulfilled, aligning with the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020.
