Attorney General Becerra held a press conference yesterday and announced the release of proposed regulations concerning the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). He stressed that privacy is an inalienable right in California. Attorney General Becerra noted that the CCPA and his Office’s proposed regulations were intended, in part, to help address the “rush to mine, use, and sell personal data” and to help preserve Californians’ right to privacy.

Attorney General Becerra’s release of the proposed rules kicked off a 45-day comment period. Anyone may share thoughts on the proposed regulations by submitting a written comment by mail or by email ([email protected]). The Attorney General’s Office will also be collecting comments at five public hearings they will hold in the coming weeks. Comments must be submitted on or before December 6, 2019 at 5 p.m.
