The bipartisan group now includes 10 enforcers from nine states. Minnesota and New Hampshire, which each had comprehensive privacy laws take effect earlier this year, will join the CPPA and AG offices from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, New Jersey and Oregon.
The California agency looks “forward to collaborating with Minnesota, New Hampshire, and states nationwide as we continue growing our collective privacy enforcement apparatus,” said Michael Macko, CPPA's head of enforcement, in a news release. CPPA Executive Director Tom Kemp added, “Collaboration with states across the country makes it easier for us to protect Californians.”
After the group was announced April 16, some lawyers speculated that it could be a sign that more enforcement and higher fines were ahead (see 2506020004). Outside the auspices of the consortium, privacy regulators from California, Colorado and Connecticut announced last month that they're jointly sweeping for companies not complying with the Global Privacy Control (see 2509090045).
