Late last week, the California legislature approved five bills
intended to clarify the scope and required compliance obligations
of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA or the Act).
Organizations now have just over three months to determine whether
they need to comply with the newly amended CCPA, assess what their
obligations are, and implement the policies, procedures, and
operational changes necessary to comply with the law.
Five amendments passed: AB
25, AB
874, AB 1146, AB 1355,
and AB 1564.
Significant impacts of the amendments that were enacted
include:
- The amendments clarify that, at least
for 2020, this consumer privacy law will apply to personal
information of employees, job applicants, and contractors and
personal information collected through certain business-to-business
interactions but only in certain respects.
