In a shocking turn of events, a Superior Court for the County of Sacramento issued a ruling on June 30, 2023, enjoining the enforcement of the California Privacy Protection Agency’s (the “Agency’s”) California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) modifications to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regulations until one year after the regulations have been finalized. We previously issued an alert reminding businesses that the CPRA amendments to the CCPA become enforceable starting July 1, 2023, but, in accordance with the court’s ruling, the Agency’s recent modifications to the CCPA regulations to account for the CPRA’s changes to the CCPA now will not become enforceable until March 29, 2024.

On May 27, 2022, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) released a much-anticipated first draft of some of the anticipated regulations implementing the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).[1] The release accompanied the CPPA’s announcement of its next public meeting on June 8, 2022, where the agency will, among other agenda items, consider possible action regarding the draft regulations and the delegation of rulemaking authority functions to the CPPA’s executive director. Ahead of this meeting, on June 3, the CPPA released a draft Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR) to accompany the draft regulations, which provides an explanation of the purpose and necessity of the draft regulations, along with an FAQ offering further information about the draft regulations and rulemaking process. While the formal CPRA rulemaking process has not yet officially begun, we expect to learn more about a potential schedule for the notice and comment period for the regulations at the CPPA’s June 8 meeting.
