“SAN FRANCISCO — Two California officials have announced plans to introduce legislation requiring smartphones to have a ‘kill switch’ that would render stolen or lost devices inoperable.
“State Sen. Mark Leno and San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon announced Thursday that the bill they believe will be the first of its kind in the United States will be formally introduced in January at the start of the 2014 legislative session.
