What this amendment would do

This amendment, submitted by Mr. HICKENLOOPER to bill S. 1383, aims to add a section that prohibits data brokers from purchasing, selling, or collecting data from any device within 100 yards of a polling place while it is open for voting in Federal, State, or local elections.

Key Details of the Amendment:

  • Prohibitions: It makes it unlawful for data brokers to collect, sell, or purchase device data within 100 yards of any building or infrastructure where voting occurs.

  • Federal Enforcement: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is tasked with enforcing this section, treating violations as unfair or deceptive acts or practices.

  • State Enforcement: State Attorneys General or designated state officials may bring civil actions in court to stop violations, enforce compliance, obtain civil penalties, or seek damages and restitution for state residents.

  • Coordination: State officials must generally notify the FTC before taking action, and the FTC has the right to intervene in those actions.
