California has made changes to its consumer privacy act. Some of the changes will affect how companies do business with state residents. The most notable changes apply to websites. There are new requirements and stiffer penalties for organizations that don’t meet CCPA standards.

Voters passed the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) or Proposition 24 on November 11th, 2020. While the new law doesn’t go into effect until January of 2023, organizations are already taking steps to ensure compliance.

The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) was passed at the end of 2020. It bolsters the California Consumers Privacy Act that is already being enforced across the state.
