Though enforcement of the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) which amended the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) has been paused for now, the State of California is not resting when it comes to compliance with the CCPA.

On July 14, 2023, California’s Attorney General announced an “investigative sweep” regarding compliance with the CCPA. The Attorney General plans to send inquiry letters to large California employers requesting information on compliance with CCPA with respect to the personal information of employees and job applicants. Effective January 1, 2023, the CCPA extended coverage to employees and applicants.

If a business is uncertain about whether it needs to comply with the CCPA requirements or related issues, review Jackson Lewis’ California Consumer Privacy Act, California Privacy Rights Act FAQs for Covered Businesses.
