The Latest On CPRA Regulations

As readers of our blog know, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") went into effect on January 1, 2022, with the aim of affording consumers "more control" over what companies can do with their personal information. In an effort to further strengthen consumer rights, in November of 2020, California voters approved Proposition 24, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 ("CPRA"). The CPRA regulations will take effect and amend several portions of the CCPA on January 1, 2023. One of the most important changes is that the 30-day grace period to rectify CCPA violations will no longer exist. In fact, under the CPRA, businesses will be subject to civil penalties immediately after the Attorney General has deemed them to be in violation of the statute.
