CPRA, the Californian GDPR? Set to appear on the November 2020 ballot, the CPRA, also known as CCPA 2.0 or Prop 24, builds on what is already the most comprehensive data protection law in the US. In essence, the CPRA will bring data protection in California nearer to the current European legal standard, the General Data Protection Regulation.

Besides enhancing consumer rights, the CPRA also creates new provisions for employee data as it relates to their employers, as well as data that businesses collect from B2B business partners.

The CPRA is actually a lot more lenient than the GDPR in regard to how it polices the relationship between employers and employees' data.

Employees are less worried about being watched than they are by the possibility of their employers misusing their data.

With many exceptions for workplace data management already built-in and more likely to come down the line, most employers should be able to easily navigate the stipulations CPRA entails.
