AI Summary
This bill establishes a mandatory registry for data brokers operating in Illinois, requiring them to register annually with the Attorney General by January 31st. A "data broker" is defined as a business that collects and sells personal consumer information without having a direct relationship with those consumers, excluding certain entities already regulated by federal laws like the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. When registering, data brokers must pay a registration fee determined by the Attorney General and provide detailed information including their business name, contact addresses, types of data collected (such as information about minors, geolocation, and reproductive health care data), and a link to a transparent website. The Attorney General will create a public webpage displaying these registrations, and all registration fees will be deposited into a new Data Broker Registry Fund to cover the costs of maintaining the registry and website. The bill aims to increase transparency around how personal information is collected and sold by businesses that do not have a direct consumer relationship, giving consumers and regulators more insight into data brokerage practices.
