Calif. Privacy Agency Meets for First Time

The California Privacy Protection Agency is “eager to get started,” Chair Jennifer Urban said at the first meeting of the agency created by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). “The CPPA will be an independent agency." Meeting virtually Monday, the board discussed hiring an executive director and other positions, and heard presentations on the Open Meeting and Administrative Procedure acts (see meeting materials). The state law requires the CPPA to complete a rulemaking to develop final regulations for enforcement by July 1, 2022. The other four board members are listed in the personals section of the March 19 issue. More than half of California voters supported CPRA in November's election (see 2011040033).
