6. How are Participants held accountable under the Data Exchange Framework (DxF)?
When the DxF was first established under AB 133 (2021), the statute did not include enforcement or accountability mechanisms. Recently under SB 660 (2025), the legislature provided for some accountability measures, including public transparency, state purchasing levers, coordination with licensing entities, and contractual obligations among participants. SB 660 also directed the DxF Advisory Committee to evaluate and recommend potential future enforcement and dispute‑resolution approaches, ensuring that any additional authority is informed, deliberate, and appropriately resourced. More information on DxF Accountability Measures can be found on the Governance section of the DxF website.
