On February 9, 2024, the California Third District Court of Appeals in Sacramento overturned a lower court order that postponed enforcement of the California Privacy Protection Agency’s (CPPA) newest rules. The decision restores the authority of the CPPA and California Attorney General to enforce the latest regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) (“updated CCPA regulations”).
The updated CCPA regulations, which cover 12 out of 15 subject matter areas delineated in the CPRA, were originally scheduled to become enforceable starting on July 1, 2023. But a lawsuit from the California Chamber of Commerce last summer unexpectedly stayed enforcement until late March 2024.
