What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
A provider of broadband internet access service may not use, disclose, sell, or permit access to a customer's customer personal information except with the customer's express, affirmative, opt-in consent, revocable at any time, and may not refuse service or charge a penalty or offer a discount based on the customer's consent decision.
"Customer personal information" is defined broadly (name, billing information, Social Security number, demographic data, browsing history, application usage history, precise geolocation, financial and health information, children's information, device identifiers, communications content, and origin and destination IP addresses) but never mentions biometric data.
The section's own history note dates enactment to PL 2019, c. 216, sec. 1, without printing a same-page effective date, so no effective date is recorded here; the section carries no amendment since. No enforcement or penalty provision appears within the section itself as read.
