Right to Privacy in the California Constitution
Unlike the U.S. Constitution, the California Constitution has an explicit right to privacy found in Article I, Section 1.
This right was added to the Constitution in 1972 by way of a ballot measure.
A good source for a discussion of California's constitutional right to privacy is The California Constitution, 2d ed., KFC 680 1879.A6 G75 2016 (reference collection).
For background information on the passage of the 1972 ballot measure, see: J. Clark Kelso, California's Constitutional Right to Privacy, 19 Pepperdine L. Rev. 327 (1992).
Numerous guides and explanations of the CCPA can be found on the Internet. A good resource in Bloomberglaw's "Privacy & Data Security" practice section is "In Focus: California Consumer Privacy Act."

Annotated codes are the best tool for researching specific California statutes. By using either West's Annotated California Codes (row 231A on the Library 2d floor) or Deering's California Codes (row 232A on the Library 2d floor), the researcher can easily find cases interpreting and applying any section of the California Code, and be directed to relevant secondary sources. The West code is available on Westlaw and Deering's is available on LexisAdvance.
The Attorney General's "Privacy and Enforcement Unit" is responsible for enforcing federal and California laws on privacy. From 2001 to 2012, California had the Office of Privacy Protection, which was closed because of budget constraints. Its responsibilities were transferred to the Attorney General's office.
Because of inadequate staffing, the Attorney General's office pursues a relatively few enforcement actions each year, prompting calls for a "private right of action" to be added to the California Consumer Privacy Act.
Proposed regulations implementing the CCPA
The second set of proposed modifications to the regulations was released on March 11, 2020.
Agency regulations related to privacy issues are scattered throughout the California Code of Regulations (CCR). Consult the print index to that publication under the headings of "Confidential Information" and "Privacy" to best identify regulations on this topic. The index is part of the Barclay's print version of the CCR, available on the Library 2d floor at KFC35 .A222 1990
California Legislature bill search
The California legislature's website permits basic keyword searching for bills from the current legislative session and previous sessions back to 1999.
During a legislative session, a "Legislative Index" will be posted and periodically updated during the session. This index classifies bills on a very wide variety of subject headings. Relevant headings to check include "Privacy, Right of," "Computers, Information Technology, etc." and "Internet."
