Too Long; Didn't Read
The California Consumer Privacy Act (aka CCPA or AB 375) of 2018 shot through the California legislature in seven days. It was going to be on the November ballot, and legislators feared it would become law without any opportunity for stakeholders (lobbyists and such) to weigh in and help shape it. The sponsors of the initiative agreed to take it off the ballot if the legislature would pass the bill within a deadline, which they did. In the process, they watered parts down, such as eliminating monetary rewards for whistle-blowers.
