protection measure that reshapes how businesses handle personal data, pricing practices, and emerging technologies.<\/p>\n<p>While the\u00a0final version\u00a0of SB 4 reflects meaningful improvements made in response to business community concerns\u2014including clarity, exemptions, and enforcement limitations\u2014the legislation still imposes new compliance obligations that companies will need to carefully assess.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The bill significantly expands state oversight of data brokers\u00a0and allows data delete mechanisms for consumers, places new restrictions on surveillance pricing and automated\u00a0price\u2011setting,\u00a0creates rules for facial recognition surveillance technologies,\u00a0and\u00a0updates several portions of Connecticut\u2019s existing consumer data privacy law.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCBIA worked closely with legislators throughout the process to ensure the final bill avoids\u00a0many\u00a0unintended consequences, limits duplicative regulation, and provides guardrails for businesses operating in a competitive digital economy,\u201d said CBIA\u2019s vice president of public policy Chris Davis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough all of our member\u2019s concerns were not\u00a0addressed in full, the final bill\u00a0allows for more effective compliance\u00a0and less punitive penalties for companies that inadvertently lapse in compliance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New Regulatory Framework<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>A central feature of SB 4 is the creation of a comprehensive regulatory regime governing data brokers\u2014businesses that sell or license personal data about consumers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, data brokers must register annually with the Department of Consumer Protection before selling or licensing brokered personal data in Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p>Registration requires disclosure of business practices, privacy controls, and whether sensitive categories of data\u2014such as\u00a0minors\u2019\u00a0data or precise geolocation information\u2014are collected.<\/p>\n<p>Each registration comes with a $2,500 annual fee.<\/p>\n<p>Each
