The Identity Information Protection Act of 2006 (SB 768) was vetoed by state governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The bill was designed to safeguard against abuse of RFID tags (Radio Frequency Identification) by mandating the use of privacy-protecting technologies such as encryption. The bill would also have given Californians the right to decide who can access their personal information stored on RFID cards.
