The AG initially published the proposed regulations in October 2019 and then published modifications to such proposed regulations in February 2020. The deadline for submitting comments on this draft of modifications to the proposed CCPA regulations is Friday, March 27, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. PDT.

The March 27, 2020, 5:00 p.m. timetable indicates that the final rules may be in force before the July 1, 2020, deadline set by the CCPA. Organizations currently working toward CCPA compliance should expect the AG to commence investigative activity as soon as the rulemaking process concludes.
