Bill overview
This bill removes a specific provision from the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) that excluded publicly available sensitive personal information from being considered ‘sensitive personal information.’ The CCPA already exempts publicly available information, but this change clarifies that businesses don’t need a ‘reasonable basis to believe’ that the information is lawfully available to the public. This revision simplifies the definition of ‘publicly available’ under the CCPA and aligns with the broader goals of the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020.
