Bill Summary
Amend KRS 367.3611 to define "automated-decision system," "base price," "individualized data," and "surveillance pricing"; amend KRS 367.3617 to prohibit any controller under the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act from engaging in surveillance pricing, or offering, setting, or displaying a price for a good or service to a consumer using an automated-decision system that is based, in whole or in part, on individualized data; provide that the Act may be cited as the Kentucky Price Fairness Act.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Kentucky Price Fairness Act, amends existing Kentucky law to prohibit "surveillance pricing," which is defined as offering or setting a customized price increase for a good or service based on individualized data collected through electronic surveillance technology. It defines "automated-decision system" as a computational process that uses personal data to make decisions related to surveillance pricing, and "individualized data" as personal data collected through electronic surveillance, observation, inference, or tracking of a consumer's online activity or device characteristics. The bill also defines "base price" as the lowest price offered to any consumer in Kentucky. Essentially, it prevents businesses from using sophisticated technology and personal data to charge different prices to individuals for the same product or service, with some exceptions for real-time market factors, loyalty programs, and verifiable cost differences.
