The California Attorney General's Office (CAGO) is
conducting a series of public hearings around the state to gather
input on the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA). We
attended the CAGO's January 25th, 2019 hearing. The panel
of CAGO staff informed those in attendance to anticipate a Notice
of Proposed Regulatory Action in the fall of 2019.
Like the other public hearings that have been conducted
regarding the CCPA, the purpose was to allow interested members of
the public to put forth comments on the record. CAGO staff
did not respond to comments, or provide details regarding the rule
making process for the CCPA. A diverse cross section of
interested parties provided their thoughts, including law firm
attorneys, non-profit volunteers, and concerned citizens.
