On February 10, 2020, the California Attorney General's
office released its latest version of the regulations implementing California's new
data privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These
regulations modify the initial draft of CCPA regulations released by the
Attorney General on October 10, 2019. The modified regulations
are not final, and focus on implementing some of the public
feedback received by the Attorney General following the publication
of the initial draft last year. After further feedback, the
Attorney General's office is expected to release final
regulations in the next few months.
The CCPA is the strictest privacy law in the
nation. It imposes significant obligations on companies with
respect to the personal information of California residents. The
law took effect on January 1, 2020, with enforcement delayed until
July 1, 2020.
