Published support for HAIL
Steptoe LLP
Law firm · September 14, 2026
A published client alert urges businesses to seek their representatives’ support for HAIL. It describes the federal proposal as broader relief following California’s narrower SB 690 compromise.
This is the firm’s published position, not a coalition-membership claim. The alert is attorney advertising and also offers lobbying assistance.

Federal reform advocacy

NRF executive vice president of government relations · September 2026
In the Ripon Forum, French calls for congressional action on website wiretap litigation and describes uncertainty across state and federal laws.
The article does not name HAIL. Its publication is evidence of this stated reform position, not verification of every factual claim in the article.
Earlier SB 690 support
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
August 12, 2025
A signed letter supports California’s SB 690 and argues for clearer treatment of commercial data use and pending cases.
The letter concerns an earlier state-bill version. It does not establish support for HAIL or for every provision of the later enrolled SB 690 text.
