On Feb. 7, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra released modifications to the proposed regulations implementing the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). On Monday, February 10, 2020, the Attorney General released updated modifications (“Proposed Modifications”), noting that one revision had been inadvertently omitted from the version released on February 7.
While still in draft form, the proposed modifications represent an improvement to the initial draft released late 2019, but still leaves many questions unanswered. If the proposed modifications are adopted as-is, many organizations that were hoping to rely on the regulations for clarity will need to find an alternative path to operationalize the CCPA’s more puzzling issues. Becerra expects to issue the final regulations in spring 2020.
