Senate Bill 4

# Plain-Language Summary This bill is actually about consumer privacy and data protection, not nuclear energy. Senate Bill 4 establishes a registration and regulatory system for data brokers in Connecticut, requiring them to register with the Department of Consumer Protection before selling or licensing personal data starting January 1, 2027. The legislation aims to protect consumers by defining what constitutes "brokered personal data" (including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and biometric information), setting registration fees, and requiring data brokers to disclose their practices and provide consumers with mechanisms to delete their personal information. Key impacts include increased oversight of the data broker industry, enhanced consumer privacy rights, and potential operational costs for data brokers through registration fees and compliance requirements.
