As the clock ticked to the close of California’s 2019
legislative session on Friday the 13th, the California legislature
passed several noteworthy amendments to the California Consumer
Privacy Act (CCPA). Both the Senate and the Assembly passed five
bills to amend the CCPA—AB 25, 874, 1146, 1355, and 1564. If
signed by the Governor, these pieces of legislation will alter the
scope of the CCPA, most significantly by (albeit temporarily)
removing employees from most provisions and materially narrowing
its application to business-to-business (B2B) contacts. This alert
reviews the changes that each of these bills propose.
