As Mactaggart agreed in advance, he withdrew his measure now that this law his passed. He also said in a statement he was "thrilled" about its passage, calling it "a monumental achievement for consumers."

That means the version of the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 that goes into effect in 2020 might not be the same one signed into law on Thursday. Only time will tell whether the final version benefits consumers or the tech industry.
