Building upon the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), on November 3, 2020, Californians voted to approve Proposition 24: the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The CPRA does not replace the CCPA but rather adds to and modifies the language of the CCPA to strengthen consumer privacy rights and perhaps, in the future, form a basis for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) data transfer adequacy. While the CPRA is a landmark legislative accomplishment for privacy rights, it creates new problems for blockchain-based technologies, particularly those provisions regarding the right of correction and principles of data minimization and storage limitation.
Update, February 5, 2021: Senate Bill 1392 has been passed in the Virginia Senate. As noted, an identical companion bill previously was passed by the House of Delegates. If Governor.

While 2020 has been anything but expected, cybersecurity and data privacy have dominated the conversation, as consumers and governments began to demand more from organizations that collect personal information. In less than 12 months, the business environment has drastically changed in response to Covid-19. More people than ever are working from home, with some never going back to the office, and yet, at the same time, regulatory compliance to data privacy laws continues to decline. An alarming trend not just for a chief information security officer (CISO) or compliance officer, but for all parties involved as we continue to live more of our lives behind a screen.
Highlights
Virginia appears poised to enact consumer privacy legislation by the end of the month, although the law would not be effective until Jan. 1, 2023.
The absence of a private right of action earned the bill broad support in both houses of the Virginia Assembly.
The state s Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA) would grant Virginia residents General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-style rights of access, correction, deletion, to opt out of processing for certain purposes and to obtain copies of their personal data.
Additional states, including New York and Washington, could follow suit later this year.
Virginia seemingly came out of nowhere on the consumer privacy front and now appears to be just days away from becoming the second state in the nation, behind California, to pass comprehensive consumer privacy legislation.
