Updates On California's Consumer Privacy Law

The California attorney general (AG) has kicked off its process of promulgating regulations to interpret and implement California's sweeping new privacy law. After a series of public hearings across the state, which we covered here and here, the AG closed the initial public comment period on March 8. Our clients have mostly sought to convey their comments through their respective trade organizations. About a dozen of our clients asked us to supplement those efforts with a set of aggregate comments, which we filed and are available here.

Legislation is pending in approximately 15 states and at the federal level. For more information, contact the author.
