A major privacy bill signed into law in California on Thursday is poised to reshape how Silicon Valley does business. When the law comes into effect, people living in the Golden State can tell companies to stop collecting or selling their personal data. 

In two votes Thursday, the state's Senate and Assembly both passed the bill unanimously, and Gov. Jerry Brown signed it within a matter of hours. The rush to pass the bill comes courtesy of an even stricter voter initiative that would have appeared on California ballots this November if lawmakers hadn't gotten the bill through by 5 p.m. PT Thursday. Thursday is the state's deadline for withdrawing a ballot measure for the November election.
