Creates an excise tax on the collection of consumer data by commercial data collectors
Bill A 1434 creates a new monthly excise tax on commercial data collectors for gathering consumer data from New York residents. This tax applies to for-profit entities that collect information on more than one million individual New York consumers per month, excluding basic contact or transaction-related credit card details. The tax rate is tiered, increasing progressively based on the number of New York consumers whose data is collected beyond the one-million threshold. The bill also defines "consumer data" and "New York consumer," and allows for a tax credit if an identical tax is paid to another state for the same consumer.

MINOR
This bill version (A1434A) shows committee amendments to a data privacy tax proposal. The main substantive change is a reduction in tax rates for companies collecting data on 6-7 million New York consumers, lowering the base fee from $750,000 to $750,000 and reducing the per-consumer rate from 30 cents to 30 cents (no change there), but more significantly, the document shows formatting and line number adjustments rather than clear substantive policy changes. The bill aims to tax commercial data collectors based on how many New York consumers they track.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on commercial data collectors operating in New York, with no apparent changes to which entities are subject to the tax.
TECHNICAL
Line numbering and formatting adjustments throughout the document, including removal of old bill tracking numbers and addition of new committee discharge notation.
Minor text spacing and formatting changes in the tax rate table, though the actual tax amounts and thresholds appear unchanged.
