In this week's Privacy Tracker global legislative roundup, take a look at the IAPP's recently released "CCPA Amendment Tracker," which helps privacy professionals keep track of the legislative activity leading up to the implementation of the California Consumer Privacy Act. Also in the U.S., New York and Maine both passed privacy laws, while University of Maine School of Law Student Hawah Ahmad, CIPP/E, offered an analysis of Nevada Senate Bill 220. Regulators in China seek requirements for companies to obtain consent before tracking data subjects, and France's data protection authority, the CNIL, fined a company 400,000 euros for violations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
