The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state statute intended to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of the state of California in the United States. The bill was passed by the California State Legislature and signed into law by the Governor of California, Jerry Brown, on June 28, 2018, to amend Part 4 of Division 3 of the California Civil Code.[2] Officially called AB-375, the act was introduced by Ed Chau, member of the California State Assembly, and State Senator Robert Hertzberg.[3][4]

Amendments to the CCPA, in the form of Senate Bill 1121, were passed on September 13, 2018.[5][6] Additional substantive amendments were signed into law on October 11, 2019.[7] The CCPA became effective on January 1, 2020.[8] In November 2020, California voters passed Proposition 24, also known as the California Privacy Rights Act, which amends and expands the CCPA.[9]
