California SB96 regulates audio levels of commercial advertisements on streaming services to prevent them from being louder than the content they.

California SB96 amends the Business and Professions Code to establish regulations for streaming services, including music, podcast, and video streaming services. Effective January 1, 2027, these services must ensure that the audio of commercial advertisements does not exceed the volume of the content they accompany. This requirement aligns with the Federal Communications Commission's regulations under the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act. The bill aims to protect consumers from potentially disruptive audio levels in their streaming experiences.
