Kentucky House Bill 692 (Acts Ch. 118), signed April 13, 2026, amends the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act to regulate the viewing data that internet-connected televisions collect about what people watch. Section 1 amends KRS 367.3611 to define "automatic content recognition data" as data about a consumer's content viewing history gathered by technology embedded in a smart television or smart monitor that identifies, in real time, the specific content displayed by analyzing audio or video fingerprints, and to define "smart monitor" as a display device integrating hardware and software to enable internet connectivity, application execution, and independent media streaming. Section 2 amends KRS 367.3617 to add a new duty for controllers: a controller shall not collect automatic content recognition data without a consumer's consent. The act takes effect July 1, 2027.
