CPPA Releases Notice of Proposed Regulatory Action Implementing New Consumer Privacy Law

Agency to hear public comment at hearing on August 24 and 25 as part of rulemaking process

The California Privacy Protection Agency today began the formal rulemaking process to adopt proposed regulations implementing the Consumer Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA), a law amending and building on the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). The CPRA amendments to the CCPA give California residents new rights over the personal information that covered businesses maintain about them. The proposed regulations (1) update existing CCPA regulations to harmonize them with CPRA amendments to the CCPA; (2) operationalize new rights and concepts introduced by the CPRA to provide clarity and specificity to implement the law; and (3) reorganize and consolidate requirements set forth in the law to make the regulations easier to follow and understand.

A copy of the proposed regulations and supporting documents can be found on the Agency’s website at https://cppa.ca.gov/regulations/consumer_privacy_act.html. A hearing on the proposed regulations will occur on August 24 and 25, 2022 at 9:00 am Pacific Time. Media and members of the public are encouraged to RSVP via the link above.

Persons who wish to submit written comments on the proposed regulations must submit them by August 23, 2022 at 5 pm Pacific Time. Comments can be submitted by email to regulations@cppa.ca.gov or by mail to The California Privacy Protection Agency, Attn: Brian Soublet, 2101 Arena Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834. Please note that any information provided is subject to public disclosure.
