Colorado Issues Pre-Rulemaking Considerations For The Colorado Privacy Act

On April 12, 2022, the Colorado Department of Law (the "Department") released its Pre-Rulemaking Considerations for the Colorado Privacy Act (the "CPA"), following state Attorney General Phil Weiser's remarks at the International Association of Privacy Professionals' (IAPP) Global Privacy Summit in Washington, D.C. The Department seeks informal input on several topics in addition to general comments on the CPA. Comments may be provided until the end of August 2022 by using the CPA Comment Form and attending a series of to-be-scheduled informal listening sessions.

The Department seeks to promulgate rules that "promote consumer rights," "clarify ambiguities" in the CPA, "facilitate efficient and expeditious compliance" with the CPA, "harmonize" the CPA requirements with other state, national, and international frameworks, and "allow for innovation."
