California Approves Privacy Rulemaking Package

The California Office of Administrative Law approved the California Privacy Protection Agency’s rulemaking package for the California Consumer Privacy Act Thursday (see 2302100032). The regulations are effective immediately. They update existing CCPA regulations to “harmonize them with amendments” adopted under Proposition 24, “operationalize new rights and concepts introduced by the CPRA to provide clarity and specificity to implement the law; and reorganize and consolidate requirements set forth in the law to make the regulations easier to follow and understand.” They allow consumers to “knowingly and freely negotiate with a business over the business’s use of the consumer’s personal information, the CPPA said.
