CPA Rulemaking Information

The CPA gives the Colorado Attorney General the authority to promulgate rules governing privacy, including, but not limited to, general rules for the purpose of carrying out the CPA.

Senate Bill 24-041: Privacy Protections for Children’s Online Data amended the Colorado Privacy Act to add enhanced protections for the processing of minor data. The Department of Law is considering amendments to the Colorado Privacy Act Rules to clarify and enact these amendments. As part of that process, the Colorado Department of Law is accepting public input on targeted pre-rulemaking questions (PDF).

The Department of Law believes it will produce better rules if it receives strong, diverse input from interested people and organizations. Though a formal notice-and-comment rulemaking has not begun, the Department of Law welcomes initial input from the community to better understand the public’s thoughts and concerns about rules related to SB 24-041. 

If you wish to provide informal input on the and future rulemaking before the formal rulemaking commences, please share your comments. (Note: all pre-rulemaking comments are considered public records under the Colorado Open Records Act.)

The deadline to submit a comment is July 11.

Please note that pre-rulemaking comments received before a Notice of Rulemaking is filed will be part of the office’s information- gathering process and may not be considered part of the rulemaking record. All comments received once a Notice of Rulemaking is filed will be considered part of the formal rulemaking process and automatically added to the official rulemaking record.

Formal Rulemaking Input

If a formal rulemaking process begins, the Department of Law will update this page with details about the proposed rules and additional opportunities for input. The rulemaking will be governed by the State Administrative Procedures Act. The Department plans to have a robust public outreach and input process that allows interested parties to provide feedback, perspective, opinion, and expertise.
