The agenda called for discussion and possible action in the rulemaking, which also addresses risk assessments, cybersecurity audits, insurance and updates to existing California Consumer Privacy Act rules.
At the CPPA's April 4 meeting, its board cut behavioral ads from the scope of its proposed rules. In addition, two board members sharply questioned whether the agency should regulate ADMT at all, especially given industry pushback to its regulation of AI and the threat of possible litigation (see 2504040043).
In addition, the board will hear a legislative update and may authorize CPPA positions on pending bills, the agenda said. The board will also listen to an annual public affairs update at the meeting, which starts at 9 a.m. PT.
Writing about the ADMT rulemaking in his newsletter Friday, Future of Privacy Forum Senior Director Keir Lamont said: "The timeline moving forward, including when the public will see revised regulations, is very murky -- but we expect this rulemaking to be a priority topic at the Agency’s upcoming board meetings in May and July."
