The California legislature made several amendments to the
California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") last Friday,
September 13, 2019. This post focuses on the enactment of Assembly Bill No. 1202, which
requires certain businesses that sell consumers' personal
information, as defined under the CCPA, to register as data brokers
with the California Attorney General. For more information about
the CCPA, see our prior alerts on applicability and conducting gap assessments, and remember to
Register for our October 17, 2019 webinar covering the final requirements under the
law.
Assembly Bill No. 1202
In a surprise move, the California legislature passed Assembly
Bill No. 1202 ("A.B. 1202") on September 13, 2019, and
will now head to the governor's desk for a final signature.
This new law requires "data brokers" to register with the
California Attorney General's Office on an annual basis.
