Happy Friday, U.S. Digest readers!
As we head into this early summer weekend, the privacy world grants you no shortage of weekend reading.
Making the voting unanimously Wednesday to authorize Executive Director Ashkan Soltani to begin the anxiously awaited CPRA rulemaking process.
At 64 and 66 pages, respectively, they’ll run you about the same time with a good cup of tea. But which one to prioritize?
During a LinkedIn Live, moderated by IAPP Vice President and Chief Knowledge Officer Caitlin Fennessy, CIPP/US, the Future of Privacy Forum’s Director of Legislative Research and Analysis Stacey Gray, CIPP/US, noted a private right of action concerning data breaches in California would be exempt from preemption.
“It does preempt the core operational compliance issues that most in the business community are concerned about, which is states having different standards for access rights, portability, etc., and sets a uniform standard for those,” Gray said.
A lot is aligning around the ADPPA, Kerry said, adding the work of stakeholders and legislators in Washington “is bearing fruit now” and “we are closer than we have ever been in 20 years of efforts to get privacy bills.”
“You can kind of taste it,” he said. “I think there is the opportunity here to put the kind of substantive protections that we’ve talked about in place. That, to me, is the important objective here.”
So, it seems, for now, the ADPPA is the reading to add to your list. But there’s still plenty to keep a close eye on around CPRA rulemaking. The CPPA is likely to miss an initial July 1 statutory deadline to adopt regulations, which is being closely watched by the business community, and indicated the topic would be placed on an upcoming agenda. And with the authorization vote Wednesday, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Action is anticipated next, which will officially commence the formal rulemaking process. Then it will be time for stakeholders and interested parties to share their thoughts on the draft regulations.
So keep the California draft handy. You’ll need it soon.
Happy reading!
