 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:

 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
 2 251-d to read as follows:
 3 § 251-d. Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcasts. 1. As used in
 4 this section:
 5 (a) "Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast" means an advanced
 6 aviation surveillance technology that combines an aircraft's positioning
 7 source, aircraft avionics, and a ground infrastructure to create an
 8 accurate surveillance interface between an aircraft and air traffic
 9 control. The term consists of two different services, ADS-B In and ADS-B
 10 Out, that can provide information, such as an aircraft's global posi-
 11 tioning system location, altitude, ground speed, and other data, to
 12 ground stations and other aircraft, as well as weather and traffic
 13 information to aircraft operators.
 14 (b) "Aircraft" means any contrivance now known, or hereafter invented,
 15 used or designed for navigation of, or flight in, the air, except that
 16 the aircraft must have a gross weight of 12,500 pounds or less and oper-
 17 ate under Title 14, part 91, Code of Federal Regulations.
 18 2. No entity, whether a division of government or a private company or
 19 corporation, may use information broadcast or collected by automatic
 20 dependent surveillance-broadcast systems, whether that data originates
 21 from ADS-B In or ADS-B Out, as a means for calculating, generating, and
 22 collecting fees from aircraft owners or operators who operate aircraft
 23 within the geographic boundaries of the state.
 24 3. This section shall not prohibit the use of automatic dependent
 25 surveillance-broadcast data for air traffic control, aviation safety,
 26 search and rescue operations, accident investigation, law enforcement
 27 use pursuant to a warrant or under exigent circumstances as otherwise
 28 permitted by law, or compliance with federal aviation regulations.
 29 § 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.
