The Assembly Communications and Conveyance Committee meeting on June 18, 2025, focused on significant discussions regarding data sharing challenges within the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Assemblymember Rogers initiated the conversation by addressing concerns raised in a previous panel about the complexities of handling large volumes of sensitive data.

During the meeting, it was highlighted that the data in question consists of hundreds of millions of rows across 85 columns, amounting to billions of individual data points. The CPUC's newly introduced portal has facilitated the submission of this data, but the process of producing and securely transferring it remains a critical concern.

The discussion emphasized the sensitivity of the data involved, which includes location information and personally identifiable information (PII). The potential risks associated with sharing such data were underscored, as it involves real individuals and their private information.

No further questions were raised by committee members, indicating a consensus on the importance of addressing these data sharing issues while ensuring the protection of sensitive information. The meeting concluded without additional comments, leaving the committee to consider the implications of these discussions for future data management practices.
