California Privacy Regulator Starts Formal Rulemaking Process
The California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”), the agency charged with enforcing the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), has unanimously voted to begin the CPRA rulemaking process. The CPPA released draft regulations to implement the CPRA as part of the CPPA’s June 8 public board meeting materials. At the June 8 meeting, the CPPA board moved to approve the draft regulations, authorizing Executive Director Ashkan Soltani to take all steps necessary to initiate the rulemaking process by preparing and submitting a package of materials, including a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Action, the Initial Statement of Reasons, and the draft regulations, along with other forms and materials, to the Office of Administrative Law. While the CPPA has released the Initial Statement of Reasons, it has not yet published the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Action. Once the package is submitted, the public comment period will begin and allow the CPPA board to make any changes to the draft regulations. Currently, the draft regulations do not address all of the topics the CPRA requires the CPPA to adopt and will likely be subject to extensive public comment and modification before becoming final.
