California voters recently approved sweeping new privacy and data security legislation: the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Sound familiar? That’s because this new measure comes hot on the heels of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), law that just became effective earlier this year and granted a slew of new online privacy protections to California citizens. CPRA essentially acts as a redline update to CCPA, altering important definitions, creating a new class of sensitive personal information, and providing the statutory authority for a new California privacy enforcement agency, among numerous other changes.

This is especially true of any entity that handles data outside the scope of HIPAA that could still be construed as sensitive health information.

Eric is an expert on CPRA and the California legislative process. …...more
