Privacy law is undergoing a fundamental change in the United States. On January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) went into effect, making California the first state to enact a generally-applicable consumer privacy law. Lawmakers in other states have followed Californias lead and, over the past two years, have proposed numerous consumer privacy bills that would provided CCPA-like privacy rights to residents of their states. Further, in February 2020, the privacy advocates who pushed through the CCPA announced a new and stronger ballot measure commonly referred to as CCPA 2.0. If passed by California voters in November, CCPA 2.0 will raise the bar for privacy law in this country. This program will provide an overview of the current status of the CCPA, including its implementing regulations and impending July 1 enforcement deadline. The program also will provide an overview of CCPA 2.0 and its current status. Finally, this program will discuss the status of other proposed CCPA-like state privacy legislation.
