 Introduced  by  COMMITTEE  ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Vanel) --
   read once and referred  to  the  Committee  on  Consumer  Affairs  and
   Protection
 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to prohibiting the
   monetization of ADS-B information
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
   Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
 251-d to read as follows:
   § 251-D. AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE-BROADCASTS. 1.  AS  USED  IN
 THIS SECTION:
   (A)  "AUTOMATIC  DEPENDENT  SURVEILLANCE-BROADCAST"  MEANS AN ADVANCED
 AVIATION SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY THAT COMBINES AN AIRCRAFT'S POSITIONING
 SOURCE, AIRCRAFT AVIONICS, AND A  GROUND  INFRASTRUCTURE  TO  CREATE  AN
 ACCURATE  SURVEILLANCE  INTERFACE  BETWEEN  AN  AIRCRAFT AND AIR TRAFFIC
 CONTROL. THE TERM CONSISTS OF TWO DIFFERENT SERVICES, ADS-B IN AND ADS-B
 OUT, THAT CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION, SUCH AS AN  AIRCRAFT'S  GLOBAL  POSI-
 TIONING  SYSTEM  LOCATION,  ALTITUDE,  GROUND  SPEED, AND OTHER DATA, TO
 GROUND STATIONS AND OTHER AIRCRAFT,  AS  WELL  AS  WEATHER  AND  TRAFFIC
 INFORMATION TO AIRCRAFT OPERATORS.
   (B) "AIRCRAFT" MEANS ANY CONTRIVANCE NOW KNOWN, OR HEREAFTER INVENTED,
 USED  OR  DESIGNED FOR NAVIGATION OF, OR FLIGHT IN, THE AIR, EXCEPT THAT
 THE AIRCRAFT MUST HAVE A GROSS WEIGHT OF 12,500 POUNDS OR LESS AND OPER-
 ATE UNDER TITLE 14, PART 91, CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
   2. NO ENTITY, WHETHER A DIVISION OF GOVERNMENT OR A PRIVATE COMPANY OR
 CORPORATION, MAY USE INFORMATION BROADCAST  OR  COLLECTED  BY  AUTOMATIC
 DEPENDENT  SURVEILLANCE-BROADCAST  SYSTEMS, WHETHER THAT DATA ORIGINATES
 FROM ADS-B IN OR ADS-B OUT, AS A MEANS FOR CALCULATING, GENERATING,  AND
 COLLECTING  FEES  FROM AIRCRAFT OWNERS OR OPERATORS WHO OPERATE AIRCRAFT
 WITHIN THE GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES OF THE STATE.
   3. THIS SECTION SHALL NOT PROHIBIT  THE  USE  OF  AUTOMATIC  DEPENDENT
 SURVEILLANCE-BROADCAST  DATA  FOR  AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, AVIATION SAFETY,
 SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS, ACCIDENT  INVESTIGATION,  LAW  ENFORCEMENT
 USE  PURSUANT  TO  A WARRANT OR UNDER EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES AS OTHERWISE
 PERMITTED BY LAW, OR COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS.
   § 2. This act shall take effect January 1, 2027.
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
