Business Groups Urge California AG to Delay CCPA Enforcement Due to COVID-19 Outbreak

As described below [jump link], the California AG has released updated regulations for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which the AG has indicated it will begin to enforce by July 2020.  But a coalition of business community members is urging AG to delay enforcement of the CCPA because the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is complicating companies’ efforts to bring themselves into compliance with the law. The coalition – which includes the California Chamber of Commerce, UPS, the Internet Coalition, the Association of National Advertisers and 30 others – is urging the AG to move its enforcement commencement to January 2, 2021. The coalition argues that the temporary delay on enforcement would give companies more time to implement the regulations included in the statute while responding to the challenges posed by the global pandemic, including simultaneously instituting mandatory work-from-home measures for their employees and creating and testing processes to ensure compliance with the CCPA.​
