Source | AB 1521 repealed former Government Code 7928.210 through 7928.230. The former written-demand takedown provisions must not be presented as current. Current Civil Code 1798.84.1 instead addresses Internet solicitation, sale or trade of covered contact information with intent to cause imminent great bodily harm.

Which court decisions change the reading?
On August 12, 2026, the New Jersey Supreme Court held that actual-damages claims under section 166.1(c)(1) require no mental state. The court left constitutionality to the Third Circuit. No later federal disposition was confirmed in this review. Read the court's August 12 opinion.
The linked PDF reproduces the court's opinion. The official court host blocked retrieval during this review.
On August 19, 2025, the federal district court held section 5A-8-24(e) facially unconstitutional. The opinion expressly left section H outside the case. A later appellate disposition was not confirmed in this review. The separate 2026 agency-record law is section 5A-8-24a. Read the official August 19 court opinion.
