DINOWITZ, HEVESI, PEOPLES-STOKES -- read once and referred to the Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to establishing the online consumer protection act THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "online consumer protection act". § 2. Legislative findings. The state has the authority to enact consumer regulations to protect the people of the state. Recently, the state has enacted a series of laws to address problems arising from the ubiquity of the internet.

There is a fundamental rift between tracking technology and consumers' right to control what data is collected and where it goes. Action must be taken in order to prevent more egregious violations of privacy occurring including price discrimination, exposure of personal information to subpoenas and warrantless government access. This act establishes provisions to allow consumers the ability to simply opt-out of being monitored on the internet. Such protections, EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD02251-01-3 A. 1366 2
