Debate on this bill is now open.

[Mr. Reactionary]

This is another consumer privacy bill that prohibits the unnecesary disclosure of unmasked location data by Bird Scooters, Lime bicycles, and other microtransit rentals.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

This seems like a very sound and warranted bill.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Its a testament to just how much data is being tracked and thus how much is vulnerable to exposure or manipulation.

[Mr. Reactionary]

So this bill has been on the floor the required 96 hours, has been debated, and appears to be uncontroversial to a broad consensus, so to help us get to the dozens of bills in the backlog, I hereby move that we proceed to a final vote on this bill. 24 hours to object.

[Mr. Reactionary]

A final vote is now open on this bill lasting until noon eastern on Friday (99 hours) or until everyone votes, whichever occurs soonest. Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.
