On July 8, 2022, the California Privacy Protection Agency commenced the formal rulemaking process to adopt regulations to clarify and implement the amendments to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). The amendments will go into effect on January 1, 2023.

The amendments will expand the rights of consumers and will increase the corresponding compliance obligations on businesses. Key changes to the CCPA include:

Businesses should prepare now.

Businesses, particularly businesses that provide services or goods online, should begin immediately to prepare for the amended CCPA. The amended law will not merely require businesses to update their privacy policies. It will be necessary for businesses to review their personal data collection and processing operations and implement the necessary technical infrastructure and internal procedures and practices to comply with the new requirements. Demand for compliance advice will be high in the fourth quarter of 2022, so businesses are advised to start now.
