AI Summary

This bill aims to increase accountability in the sale of personal data. It requires businesses that sell or exchange personal information of Massachusetts residents to register with the state and provide details on the types of personal information sold, the entities they sell to, and the sources and methods of obtaining the information. The bill also directs the state to report on the registered information and provide recommendations for imposing a tax on these businesses to ensure appropriate compensation to the people of the Commonwealth. Any revenue generated from this tax would be designated to the Municipal Broadband Fund, which would be used to build and maintain broadband infrastructure in Massachusetts municipalities lacking access or consistently reliable broadband.
