- VCs Policy Committeee (California) – Participate in passing legislation to create a California Trust Framework! 2021-05-06 IIW, IDcommons Kaliya Young, Ally Medina Slides
discussed how the Blockchain Advocacy Coalition’s sponsorship of AB 2004 pushed verifiable credentials into mainstream political discourse and how companies can help us shape public policy and government pilot programs of Verifiable Credential technology.
We are planning on working with legislators to introduce a bill that creates a California Trust Framework and lays the groundwork for use of the technology in the public and private sector.
Blockchain
- California Legalizes Blockchain-based Vital Records 2022-10-03 MobileDataWorld
As an abstract of the bill explains, while existing law requires such records “to contain certain information and to be printed on chemically sensitized security paper, as specified,” the new legislation enables a county recorder to, upon request, issue a birth, death, or marriage record “by means of verifiable credential, as defined, using blockchain technology, defined as a decentralized data system, in which the data stored is mathematically verifiable, that uses distributed ledgers or databases to store specialized data in the permanent order of transactions recorded.”
- California Moves Forward to Allow Vital Records to be Issued on Blockchain Coindesk 2022-09-29
approved another on Wednesday that instructs county records offices to allow for the use of blockchain technology and verifiable credentials. The technology would be established in the distribution of birth, death and marriage records, allowing PDFs to be sent immediately rather than using a typical 10-day postal delivery. 2022-09-28
- Soulbound Tokens, Trust Networks, and California's Big Test 2022-05-28 Wrenchinthegears
California SB1190 that would establish a “Trust Framework” at the state level. This bill was introduced to the state senate in early March by Robert Hertzberg, close friend of Los Angeles billionaire investor Nicholas Berggruen
- Crypto Regulatory Affairs: Governor of California Signs Blockchain Executive Order 2022-05-09 Elliptic
On May 4th, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into effect a “Blockchain Executive Order”
“[to] assess how to deploy blockchain technology for state and public institutions, and build research and workforce development pathways to prepare Californians for success in this industry”.
- Blockchain in California 2020-07
Blockchain technology has captured the attention of individuals far beyond the circles of computer scientists and cryptocurrency enthusiasts that initially sparked its development. The themes of distributed authority, decentralized governance, self-sovereign identity, and data privacy appeal to those who favor reducing hierarchy and increasing personal agency. The field has evolved in recent years to explore applications in the public sector and in private enterprise where regulation is a consideration.
- CA’s 2020 Blockchain Legislative Roundup 2020-10-30
AB 2004 (Calderon, Whittier) marked the first time verifiable credentials saw legislative debate. The bill to allow the use of verifiable credentials for covid-19 test results and other medical records made it through both houses with bipartisan support. Due to state budget restraints, it was ultimately vetoed, however the concept gained significant legislative momentum quickly. We are actively working on our strategy for verifiable credentials policy next year.

- Our Input to the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) Pre-Rulemaking Stakeholder Sessions 2022-05-18 Me2BA
California is a major center of new privacy law and regulation, creating opportunities for internet safety advocates to help design policies that will ripple out well beyond the state’s borders. Their Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), passed by ballot proposition in 2020, created the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), which seems to be getting closer to initiating its first formal rulemaking process.
- Me2BA provides human-centered recommendations to the California Privacy Protection Agency 2021-11-10
The California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) established the California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”). The CPPA has full administrative power and authority to implement the CCPA and CPRA, which basically means that the CPPA will be in charge of updating regulations and adopting new regulations, while enforcement of these regulations will be done by both the CPPA and the Attorney General
- What is the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)? 2019-03
GDPR was implemented on May 25, 2018 to standardize the data protection law across all 28 European Union (EU) countries. It requires businesses to protect consumers’ personal data for transactions that occur within the EU and affects any US business that operates in the EU.
Unlike GDPR, CCPA only applies to businesses in the state of California, not the European Union. CCPA also focuses on selling personal information for profit, whereas GDPR focuses on data ownership and rights of deletion.
- California Consumer Privacy Act 2019 American Bar Association
It is obvious to even the most tech illiterate by now that regulations over data are becoming more onerous and intrusive against what was more of a wild west type scenario in the early days of data sharing. The latest proof of this is in the newly enacted General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union effective on May 25, 2018 (it happens to be my birthday), and in the shadow of the pending U.S. Encrypt Act, and the most recent state’s effort to tighten the data screws for which the poster child currently is California’s new regulation, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that sets the bar higher than ever before for U.S. companies regarding data privacy regulation. If the bill comes into law in its present form, which this author believes it will not, then companies doing business in the U.S. will require almost the same data privacy controls and capabilities that multinationals need to do business in the European Union require today with some rather ideological exceptions. As always, “failure to protect the data” signals the same need GDPR has for end-to-end encryption, portability, conformity, and data residency.

IAB
- IAB Releases the IAB CCPA Compliance Framework for Publishers & Technology Companies and the Limited Service Provider Agreement
In an ongoing effort to promote the principles of transparency, accountability, and choice that are the basis of the California Consumer Privacy Act, today we are releasing version 1.0 of the IAB CCPA Compliance Framework for Publishers & Technology Companies, as well as the accompanying Limited Services Provider Agreement. The release of these two documents accompanies the IAB Tech Lab’s release of version 1 of the technical specifications of CCPA-related signals earlier this month.
- IAB CCPA Compliance Framework for Publishers & Technology Companies
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted to provide California consumers with greater transparency and control over their personal information. In many ways, the CCPA is a first of its kind law in the United States: an omnibus statute that seeks to create broad privacy and data protection rules that apply to all industries doing business in one jurisdiction, California, rather than focusing on a single sector or specific data collection and use practices. The CCPA was created in response to changing public perceptions. Users, rightfully, want to understand and have the option to exercise control over their own data.
