First Public Forum On The California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Attorney General and the Department of Justice held the first public forum about the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) on Tuesday, Jan. 8, in San Francisco. The public forums are part of the rulemaking process the attorney general's office is undertaking pursuant to Section 1798.185 of the CCPA, which requires the attorney general to "solicit broad public participation and adopt regulations to further the purposes" of the CCPA. These forums are an opportunity to provide input to the attorney general prior to publication of the proposed rules, and BakerHostetler will be actively participating throughout the public comment and subsequent rulemaking process.

To read more about the issues that still need clarification under the amended CCPA, some of which were discussed at the forum, please see our blog post here.
