If the past two years of ramping up compliance for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) wasn t fun enough, businesses have new compliance challenges ahead in the next couple of years. This past November, California voters passed the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The CPRA was a ballot initiative that modifies and expands the CCPA. It adjusts the criteria for applicability, adds a category for sensitive personal information, gives individuals new rights and also expands some of the existing CPRA rights. It also creates a new private enforcement authority and adopts some principles from the GDPR. Businesses will need to start modifying their privacy practices ahead of the CPRA effective date, January 1, 2023.

Proposition 24 both supplements and revises certain aspects of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the first domestic data privacy statute of its kind, which was signed into law in 2018.
To date, California is the only state that has a comprehensive consumer data privacy law in place. The CCPA’s main provisions took effect on Jan. 1, 2020, and regulations implementing the CCPA became effective on Aug. 14, 2020.
