On June 1st, the California Attorney General ("California AG") submitted final regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") to California's Office of Administrative Law ("OAL") for approval, along with an updated Statement of Reasons.

The Final Regulations are Identical to the Most Recent Version of the Regulations

Substantively, the final version of the regulations are identical to the Second Set of Modified Regulations that the California AG's office released on March 11th, which we previously described and linked to here. Businesses that previously delayed their compliance efforts due to uncertainty in the substance and timing of the regulations now have a final version of the text to apply, as well as less than a month before enforcement actions could potentially begin.
