CCPA 2.0 Takes Steps Closer to Going on California's General Election Ballot
"Fewer businesses are covered [under the California Privacy Rights Act]. My intention all along with this was to regulate the businesses that cause problems," Alastair Mactaggart, founder of Californians for Consumer Privacy, explained.

The California Privacy Rights Act, the ballot initiative aimed to regulate large companies that collect large amounts of data, has enough signatures to be considered to be on the ballot during the November general election. However, in-house counsel and their companies have a while before they need to become concerned with its implications.
Californians for Consumer Privacy, the group headed by real estate developer Alastair Mactaggart, announced that 900,000 voters have signed on to have the CPRA go to the ballot in November.
Mactaggart said in an interview on Monday the organization is in the process of having those signatures verified by the counties. The ballot initiative will then have to be approved by the California Secretary of State. He said that process should be completed in the next couple of months.
