CPPA Board chair doubles down on proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act opposition

In an op-ed for The San Francisco Chronicle, California Privacy Protection Agency Board Chair Jennifer Urban reiterated the agency's position on how the proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act would "undermine" Californians' privacy rights and businesses' "ability to confidently invest in more privacy-protective practices." Urban said companies "may be understandably confused about how to invest if Congress overturns this existing guidance" under the California Consumer Privacy Act. She also noted how federal preemption would discontinue states' ability to "experiment more nimbly" with legislation and react to emerging trends.
