In March, a coalition of more than 60 businesses and trade groups led by the Association of National Advertisers called on the Attorney General to implement an additional six-month enforcement delay to January 2, 2021, due to issues emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Attorney General’s recent alerts reiterate that the office remains committed to enforcing the law without further delay.
Proposed final regulations under the CCPA were submitted to the California Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on June 1, 2020, and are currently pending approval. While the OAL typically has 30 working days to complete this review, Governor Gavin Newsom has extended the OAL’s review timeline by an additional 60 days due to COVID-19 disruptions. However, the Attorney General previously requested that the OAL perform an expedited review within 30 working days and that the regulations become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State, given the statutory mandate for regulations. The complete regulations package, including the Final Text of Proposed Regulations and the Final Statement of Reasons, is available here.
