Analysis Summary
California's SB 576 takes effect July 1, 2026, making it illegal for streaming platforms to broadcast ads louder than the content they accompany — ads must stay at roughly the same volume as the show or movie. This will force major services like Netflix, Hulu, and others to adjust their ad delivery systems to comply. The timing is tight — services have three days from today to implement the changes.
