Voters Approve Amendment To CCPA Law

Californians took to the polls last week and decisively voted to approve  Proposition 24, the California Privacy Rights Act, an amendment to the recently-enacted California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"). The amendments to CCPA law are expected to strengthen protections to what is already the foremost data privacy law in the Country.

How will the amendments change CCPA law?

The following is a non-exhaustive list of some of the changes that Proposition 24 will introduce to CCPA law:

• Altering the definition of a "covered business" in ways that are both beneficial to business and ways that are intrusive;
  • The amendment pushes up the threshold of the number of consumers that trigger compliance obligations from 50,000 to 100,000, creating some breathing room for smaller businesses;
