California AG Submits Final CCPA Rules for Regulatory Review, Barely Meeting Deadline

The California justice department submitted final rules for implementing the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) by Monday night’s Office of Administrative Law deadline, Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) said Tuesday. The AG office just released the rules submitted for OAL review.

The AG needed to submit rules Monday to get laws into effect by July 1 when enforcement starts, though it’s up to OAL what date they are finally released. The office normally has 30 days but due to COVID-19 is allowed to take an additional 60 calendar days to approve state regulations. After OAL approves, final regulations would be filed with the Secretary of State and take effect. CCPA took effect Jan. 1 and allows enforcement to start before the AG's final regulations are in force.

Our report Monday evening about the down-to-the-wire effort is here.
