California Consumer Privacy Act Amendments Offer Relief, but Challenges Remain

California’s 2019 legislative session has drawn to a close with passage of five amendments to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) during the final days of the session.  Assuming that the bills are timely signed by the Governor before the October 13 deadline, businesses will finally have the complete version of the statute that will come into effect January 1, 2020 (with the exception of regulations expected to be issued by the California Attorney General in the coming months).

The amendments, which were contained in Assembly Bills 25, 874, 1146, 1355 and 1564, provide some relief in the compliance burden placed on businesses in certain areas, such as with respect to employee and B2B data, as well as some helpful clarifications and clean ups to the CCPA.  However, the legislature left the law largely intact, and covered businesses face significant challenges in meeting the law’s requirements by January 1.  Moreover, some of the most significant changes are only temporary, setting the scene for additional amendments in next year’s legislative session.
