CPRA Amended And Updates Regarding The CDPA

Updates: California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA")

Last month, we reported on the California Privacy Protection Agency's ("CPPA") engagement of an Executive Director and its proposal for a rulemaking framework. The CPPA's efforts are assisted by provisions of Assembly Bill 694 ("AB 694"), which California Governor Gavin Newsom signed last month. AB694 includes changes to California's consumer privacy law and clarifies the CPPA's rulemaking process. You can find the changes here.

AB 694 clarifies the timing of the CPPA's rulemaking authority under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") and the CPRA. The CPPA's functions are outlined in California Civil Code §1798.199.40. AB 694 clarifies that the CPPA is required to exercise its rulemaking authority after the later of: (a) July 1, 2021, and (b) six months after the CPPA provides notice to the California Attorney General that the CPPA is prepared to begin rulemaking under the CCPA and CPRA.
