SACRAMENTO – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra submitted proposed regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act to the California Office of Administrative Law.
The regulations will provide guidance to businesses on how to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA, and will enable consumers to exercise new rights over their personal information.
Under Executive Order N-40-20 related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Office of Administrative Law, or OAL, has 30 working days and an additional 60 calendar days to determine whether the regulations satisfy the procedural requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act.
Once approved by the OAL, the regulation text will be filed with the secretary of state and become enforceable by law.
“As our lives increasingly move online, our data privacy becomes more important than ever. The California Consumer Privacy Act, which gives consumers choice and control over personal information in the marketplace, is game-changing and historic,” said Attorney General Becerra. “Our regulations provide businesses and individuals with guidance on how to protect that choice and boost transparency, while continuing to unleash innovation. Businesses have had since January 1 to comply with the law, and we are committed to enforcing it starting July 1.”
CCPA was signed into law on June 28, 2018, and was further amended on Sept. 23, 2018, by SB 1121 and on Oct. 11, 2019, by AB 25, AB 874, AB 1146, AB 1355 and AB 1564.
The law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
CCPA grants California consumers robust data privacy rights and control over their personal information including the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information that businesses collect, and includes additional protections for minors.
The regulations establish procedures for compliance and exercise of rights, as well as clarifying important transparency and accountability mechanisms for businesses subject to the law.
The attorney general can enforce the CCPA beginning on July 1, 2020.
The regulations were drafted after a broad and inclusive preliminary rulemaking process, which included seven public forums, during which the office received over 300 letters.
During the formal rulemaking process, Attorney General Becerra held four public hearings throughout the state, along with a 45-day comment period and two subsequent 15-day comment periods.
These comment periods resulted in the submission of over 1,000 public comments, each of which were taken into consideration when drafting the final regulations.
A copy of the rulemaking package submitted to OAL, including a text of the regulations, can be found here.

State Sen. Bill Dodd and Assemblymember Adam Gray on Thursday introduced key amendments to their sports wagering legislation that would lift the practice out of the shadows while generating hundreds of millions of dollars a year to help close a massive state budget deficit caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
“Like many of you, I’m not a gambler but I see how important this is for the well-being of California,” Sen. Dodd said. “Even if you don’t bet there is good reason to support this bill. Revenue from sports wagering will help us avoid teacher layoffs and painful cuts. At the same time, it will allow us to regulate a practice that happens anyway.”
"Gambling is the last thing on the minds of many hardworking families during this time of crisis,” Assemblymember Gary said. “However, the legalization of sports wagering will create much-needed revenue for programs in education and public safety at a time when the state is facing down a $50 billion deficit. We can put an end to this black market and restore critical public funding – that's a win-win."
Last June, Assemblymember Gray and Sen. Dodd introduced their initial measures and have been working with stakeholders over the last year.
Significant new language was added including an increase in the tax rate from 10 percent to 15 percent as well as revised revenue estimates.
Tribal casinos and the state’s major racetracks would be authorized to operate sports wagering at their facilities and via mobile devices, with strict third-party age and identity verification.
The inclusion of mobile wagering is essential to convert a substantial percentage of the illegal market and ensure the state realizes meaningful revenue increases.
Experts say the California Sports Wagering and Consumer Protection Act would generate $500 million to $700 million in a mature market with at least $200 million expected in the first year.
The bill will be heard Tuesday in the Senate Governmental Organization Committee.
In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the federal ban on sports betting. The decision did not automatically legalize sports wagering nationwide but permitted the activity to be regulated on a state-by-state basis. 22 states have legalized sports wagering, and a majority of the remaining states are considering legislation.
Estimates put illegal sports wagering in the United States at $150 billion a year. Revenue generated from legalization could support public education, infrastructure and other needs at a time when COVID-19 has caused a drastic reduction in revenue to state and local governments.
The constitutional amendment introduced by Sen. Dodd and Assemblymember Gray would require any legalization effort in California to be placed on the statewide ballot for voter approval.
The authors are aiming to put the measure to voters in the November 2020 election.
Sen. Dodd and Assemblymember Gray chair their chambers’ respective Governmental Organization committees, which oversee gaming regulation, among other things.
