CPPA Files Proposed Regulations with the Office of Administrative Law (OAL)

The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) today filed its first substantive rulemaking package with California’s Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for review. This is a key step in the process to adopt proposed regulations to implement the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by Proposition 24, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

This latest development follows the CPPA Board’s vote on February 3 to adopt and approve the Agency’s rulemaking package, as modified. The Board also voted to direct staff to take all steps necessary to complete the rulemaking process, including the filing of the final rulemaking package with the OAL.

The proposed regulations are not yet in effect. They must first be approved by the OAL, which now has 30 business days to review. More information about the rulemaking process is available on the Agency’s website.

The CPPA began the formal rulemaking process to adopt proposed regulations to further implement the CCPA on July 8, 2022. 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 can be found on the Agency’s website.
