California\u2019s dedicated privacy regulator is intensifying its campaign against federal legislation that could override the state\u2019s landmark consumer privacy regime, setting up a new flashpoint in the broader battle between Washington and the states over who will shape the future of digital regulation.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0California Privacy Protection Agency\u00a0(CPPA) is preparing a lobbying push against the proposed SECURE Data Act, a federal privacy bill that agency officials warn could preempt major portions of California\u2019s consumer privacy laws and weaken the state\u2019s enforcement authority.<\/p>\n
