United States of America: Issued Court of Appeal ruling following CPPA petition to overturn court decision delaying enforcement of California Consumer Privacy Act Regulations

On 9 February 2024, California's Third District Court of Appeal issued its ruling in favour of the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and California Attorney General Rob Bonta in the case challenging the implementation of the California Privacy Rights Act Regulations initiated by the California Chamber of Commerce. The court held that the CPPA 's authority to enforce its amended regulations should have been effective on 1 July 2023, overturning a lower court decision. The court emphasised the importance of the voters' intent, stating that the text of Proposition 24 clearly intended to strengthen and protect consumers' privacy rights regarding the collection and use of their personal information.
