Summary
The bill expands California’s existing rule that limits ad volume on video streaming services to also cover social‑media video platforms, music streaming services, and podcast services. Starting July 1, 2026, any service that serves California users must keep ad audio at or below the level of the accompanying content, following the FCC’s CALM Act standards. It also updates the Veterans Code to reaffirm that misusing solicited veteran‑benefit funds is a misdemeanor.
