State Senate, Assembly Approve Legislation Aimed at Silencing Noisy Illegally Modified Vehicles

By Michael V. Cusenza The message from Albany this month has been loud and clear: Tinker with your motor vehicle or motorcycle to make it noisier and pay the price.

Legislation to increase enforcement against motorists and repair shops that illegally modify mufflers and exhaust systems on motor vehicles and motorcycles to make them excessively loud is headed for Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk after recently passing both the State Senate and Assembly, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) announced Monday.

An increasing number of car and motorcycle enthusiasts are making modifications to the muffler, engine and exhaust systems of vehicles, in order to increase the noise levels emitted by the vehicles.

Current law allows for a maximum of a $150 fine for after-market violations to muffler and exhaust systems. This fee is a relatively small amount when compared to other states, which is apparently not enough of a deterrent to many who are spending far more money

Area cops have been cracking down on drag racers. If Gov. Cuomo signs a new bill into law, they’ll be able to increase enforcement against motorists and repair shops that illegally modify mufflers and exhaust systems on motor vehicles and motorcycles.

Richmond Hill Man Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison in Stabbing Death of Wife

The victim was murdered inside the couple’s 134th Street residence.

By Forum Staff A Richmond Hill man has been sentenced to 16 years in prison after pleading guilty in the June 2015 stabbing death of his wife, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Thursday.

Miguel Pichardo, 30, pleaded guilty in May to manslaughter in the first degree. Before sentencing, the Court permitted the use of video conferencing technology to allow members of the victim’s family, who could not travel to the United States, to provide impact statements from both Guyana and Trinidad.

Pichardo was then sentenced to 16 years

in prison to be followed by 5 years’ postrelease supervision.

Katz said that around 6:45 a.m. on June 2, 2015, inside the couple’s Richmond Hill home, Pichardo stabbed Yollanda Gonsalves multiple times. A neighbor heard the victim’s screams coming from the apartment and went to the unit’s door. Pichardo answered wearing only pajama pants and was covered in blood. He told the neighbor that he was cleaning. The neighbor then heard the 27-year-old victim screaming from within the apartment, “I’m having trouble breathing, he’s killing me.” The neighbor went back to his apartment and called 911.

“No one should have to suffer silently with an abusive partner,” DA Katz said.

According to court records, when authorities arrived at the couple’s apartment, they discovered the victim’s body, partially rolled in a carpet in the living room. Police recovered a knife handle on the bed and a blade—covered in blood—wrapped in a curtain, near the woman’s body. Pichardo was not in the apartment.

Outside the building, according to court documents, investigators discovered more blood on the rear door and a fence. After several hours, Pichardo returned to the apartment, walking barefoot, shirtless and wearing blood-stained pajama pants. He told police he had been married to the victim for two weeks and

said, “I felt like it was her time to die.”

Pichardo claimed the victim had challenged his authority and “gave him the finger” before he slapped her, stabbed her multiple times with a knife, and then choked her.

“The victim was viciously attacked by her spouse just two weeks after saying ‘I do.’ The defendant told police she had challenged his authority,” Katz said. “No one should have to suffer silently with an abusive partner. If you have been the victim of domestic violence, please reach out to get help. My office and our partner providers can help you get away from your abuser and protect your own life.”

Medicare to Finally Cover Dental, Vision, Hearing

Your problems are our job.

Let us begin helping you with a free consultation.

Sens. Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer

By Forum Staff Citing some of the biggest healthcare complaints of constituents and a rare chance to fix the mess, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Sunday his push to have Medicare finally cover dental, vision, and hearing. Schumer said this longtime lack of coverage has plagued and burdened people for far too long, while contributing to more serious and more costly ailments.

Schumer said upcoming legislation that he is leading with Sen. Bernie Sanders (IVt.) to passage in the Senate—the Jobs & Family Plan—could help fix this mess. He explained the path forward, detailed data related to this lack of coverage and made the case to once-and-for-all fix this gaping healthcare hole.

“When I talk to people out and about in their communities, one of the things I hear the most involves the gaping healthcare hole in Medicare that simply leaves out coverage for seniors’ dental, vision and hearing—but now we have a real chance to fix this,” said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. “If you talk to family medicine or primary care doctors, they will tell you with certainty that ignoring medical issues related to dental, vision and hearing often devolves into far more serious medical problems for people—especially seniors—that cost more to treat and are harder to remedy. With the current Medicare platform, those three things are just left out, like it’s no big deal, but it is a big deal—and we should fix it.”

Schumer is working with Sanders to fix this problem and explained that when it comes to coverage of dental, vision and hearing, statistics show that the lack of coverage is having an impact on the nation’s overall health, including costs.

“More than 55 years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare — one of the most popular and successful government programs in our nation’s history — into law. Before the enactment of Medicare, about half of our senior citizens were uninsured and roughly 35 percent lived in poverty. Today, everyone in America aged 65 or older is guaranteed healthcare benefits through Medicare regardless of income or medical condition, while the official poverty rate for seniors is now less than 9 percent. That is the good news.

The bad news is that, since its inception in 1965, Medicare has not covered such basic health-care needs as hearing, dental care and vision. The result: Millions of senior citizens have teeth rotting in their mouths, are unable to hear what their children and grandchildren say or can’t read a newspaper because of failing eyesight.

It is a cruel irony that older Americans do not have coverage for these benefits at the time when they need it the most,” Sanders recently wrote.

Schumer said upcoming legislation he is now pushing in the Senate can help finally fix this problem. Schumer announced he will push to add dental, vision and hearing Medicare coverage in the upcoming Jobs & Family Plan.

St. Albans Woman Indicted for Starving Baby Boy to Death

By Forum Staff A St. Albans woman has been indicted by a borough grand jury for allegedly starving her infant child to death in October 2020, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Thursday.

Carla Garriques, 28, has been arraigned on a three-count indictment charging her with manslaughter in the first degree and endanger-

ing the welfare of a child. She was remanded and ordered her to return to court on Aug. 2.

According to the charges, the baby boy named Kemari was born in March 2020 and weighed 5 pounds and 11 ounces. Living in Florida, at 5 and 6 weeks old, the newborn was treated twice at a hospital in Broward County. At the last visit, he weighed 7 pounds and 4 ounces and was thriving. However, at 2 months, Garriques is alleged to have switched

the baby’s diet from breast milk and formula to blended fruits, vegetables and nuts.

According to the charges, the mother and child moved to Queens in early October 2020, and between 2 and 6 months of age the baby had only gained 2 pounds. On Oct. 30, 2020, at approximately 9:50 p.m., emergency medical technicians and police responded to a 911 call and found the baby unresponsive and withCarla Garriques

out a pulse. He was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead at Roughly 10:35 p.m. At that time, little Kemari weighed just 9 pounds and 5 ounces. A typical weight for a 7- to 8-month-old is 17 to 22 pounds.

An autopsy performed on the victim showed severe malnutrition, dehydration, a loss of muscle mass and bone demineralization. The little boy’s body also had an enlarged liver, an extensive kidney infection and sepsis.

Medical evidence showed that the baby had allegedly endured prolonged malnutrition.

“This baby was delivered at full term and born healthy. Tragically, during seven short months of life he suffered with too little food and barely any medical care. He died underweight with loss of muscle, bone and other maladies,” Katz said. “As alleged, this defendant—the infant’s mother—was the sole caregiver who neglected medical attention and failed to provide basic sustenance for life to this helpless victim.”

If convicted, Garriques faces up to 25 years in prison.

Pols Reintroduce Senior Financial Empowerment Act

The Pharmacist’s Corner

Presented by Frank Pantina, R.Ph

CELEBRATING THE FOURTH: STAY SAFE! This week we'll stray a little from the world of pharmacy to give you some tips on safety, first and foremost those dealing with fireworks.

More than 50,000 fires are caused by fireworks every year. So please have fun but most of all. BE CAREFUL! Never disassemble or try to make your own fireworks. Don’t point sparklers, or fireworks at yourself or others, especially while they’re being lit. Only light fireworks on the ground and in areas that are dry and fire resistant. Don’t attempt to light multiple devices at the same time.

Never allow young children to handle fireworks or sparklers. Always keep a portable fire extinguisher close by. Also keep a water hose or buckets of water nearby to put out fires. can stimulate collagen growth, which keeps the skin elastic and helps prevent wrinkles.

Firework celebrations go hand in hand with food and grilling and July is a month

when more grilling fires occur than in any other month.Enjoy grilling your favorite meals but always keep your family safe.

Check gas grill hoses for cracks, holes and leaks. Keep kids away from grills. Gas leaks, blocked tubes, and propane tanks can be a cause of grill fires and explosions. Never grill indoors, in the garage, or in any enclosed area.Keep the grill at least two feet away from decks, siding, branches and any outdoor equipment that can catch fire quickly. And if you're lucky enough to participate in water activities keep these tips in mind: Review safe boating practices.

Never consume alcohol while driving a boat. Before boating, check that you have enough life preservers for every passenger.

Pools should be restricted and fenced in.

Pools should be enclosed with a fence to restrict access to the area.Keep a first aid kit near the pool.

Be safe and celebrate!

Until next week!

“Giving seniors the tools they need to stay vigilant against financial fraud is the best way to protect their pocketbooks, and to put these fraudsters out of business,” Sen. Gillibrand said.

By Forum Staff U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Susan Collins (R-ME), members of the Special Committee on Aging, reintroduced the bipartisan Senior Financial Empowerment Act on Thursday to ensure that seniors and their caregivers have access to critical information regarding financial abuse. The bill would standardize and improve the way senior financial abuse is reported, establish a national hotline that would advise seniors on where and how to report fraud, and provide more resources to combat and prevent financial exploitation of seniors. It is estimated that millions of seniors across the country are victims of financial scams and abuse every year --- with scams related to COVID-19 alone costing consumers more than $460 million. In New York State alone, seniors are estimated to lose as much as $1.5 billion per year to financial fraud and abuse.

Throughout the pandemic, the range of financial scams targeting seniors expanded as public health and economic anxiety grew.

Fraudsters impersonated banks and lenders, offering support with utility bills, credit card debt and other financial burdens.

“Giving seniors the tools they need to stay vigilant against financial fraud is the best way to protect their pocketbooks, and to put these fraudsters out of business. I am proud to work with Senator Collins on the Senior Financial Empowerment Act, so that seniors and their caregivers can respond to, report, and prevent costly financial scams and abuse plaguing our senior communities,” said Gillibrand.

“From scams originating overseas to exploitation by trusted family members and

guardians at home, financial fraud targeting older Americans is a growing epidemic that is estimated to cost seniors nearly $3 billion annually,” said Collins. “By cracking down on fraud, improving scam reporting, and providing additional educational resources to seniors, our bipartisan legislation would help us catch these ruthless criminals and prevent them from robbing seniors of their hard-earned life savings.”

The legislation would help protect seniors from financial fraud by doing the following: • Centralizing services for consumer education and data on scams and fraud targeting seniors; • Improving reporting of suspected instances of elder financial abuse; • Educating certain entities regarding elder financial abuse; • Creating a grant program to prevent mail, telemarketing, and internet fraud; • Directing the National Institutes of Health to conduct scientific research on older adults’ increased vulnerability to scams; and • Designating a National Senior Fraud Awareness Week.

“Many of LeadingAge’s 5,000 missiondriven members have taken a leadership role in addressing elder abuse and financial fraud affecting older persons, and we know that older adults will benefit tremendously from the protections in the Senior Financial Empowerment Act. We thank Senators Gillibrand and Collins for their commitment to protecting older adults and we look forward to working with them and other sponsors to gain support and passage of this important legislation,” Katie Smith Sloan, President & CEO of LeadingAge.

Ariola Soundly Defeats Sirgiovanni in GOP Primary as BOE Rolls out Ranked-Choice Voting

Councilman Ulrich has served the people of the 32nd District for 12 years. He has endorsed Joann Ariola to be his successor.

Ariola garnered more than 80 percent of the vote to earn the opportunity to face the Democratic candidate in the general election in November to see who will succeed Councilman Eric Ulrich (ROzone Park) who is being term-limited out of office.

“I’m honored that Republican voters have overwhelmingly chosen me as their candidate for this seat. I thank all the supporters, staff and volunteers who made it possible. Now, on to victory in the general. Voters of all political stripes are crying out for public safety and I am the only candidate who will fight for it, in our neighborhoods and throughout the

city,” Ariola said Wednesday.

“Congratulations to all the clear winners last night, especially my good friend Joann Ariola,” Ulrich added. “Now onto victory in November.”

However, Ariola’s November opponent remains to be determined. A crowded Dem field saw no less than eight candidates on the new ranked-choice ballots.

As of Wednesday afternoon, and with more than 97 percent of scanners reporting, Felicia Singh leads Michael Scala by the skinniest of margins: 36.23 percent to 35.87 percent.

Ulrich. The councilman easily handled the challenger, defeating the attorney Scala by a margin of 7,147 votes (66 percent to 34 percent).

City officials have indicated that it could be several weeks before winners in the close races are determined.

“We set out to build a campaign that centered on the diversity of District 32, and we did it. We set out to reach voters who have never been reached before, and we did it,” Singh said. “We know that absentee ballots and ranked choice votes need to be counted, but we also know that District 32 voted for courage, change and community on Election Day, and I’m so proud of what we’ve created.”

In another tight race, incumbent Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, Jr. leads former City Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley 41.35 percent to 40.2 percent in the Democratic primary for borough president. Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside), who will be term-limited out of office, garnered nearly 18 percent of the vote.

In the Democratic mayoral primary, former NYPD captain and State senator Eric Adams leads the 13-candidate field—but the new ranked-choice system means that that is another race that is yet to be decided. At deadline, Adams had just 31.66 percent; Maya Wiley 22 percent; and Kathryn Garcia emerged with 19.48 percent. Once the clear frontrunner, former presidential candidate Andrew Yang earned just 11.66 percent of the vote on Tuesday. He has conceded.

Setting off your own fireworks may not seem like a big deal, but do you know how many people are injured every year using them?

“Fireworks were involved with an estimated 10,000 injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments during calendar year 2019,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission says.

That year, between June 21 and July 21, an estimated 7,300 fireworks-related injuries were treated in U.S. emergency rooms, according to the CPSC. Of those, 36% were to children younger than 15.

“An estimated 900 emergency departmenttreated injuries were associated with sparklers and 400 with bottle rockets,” the CPSC says.

It’s safest by far to leave the fireworks displays to the professionals. But if you’re going to buy your own, the National Safety Council has tips: • Never allow young children to handle fireworks. Older children should use them only under close adult supervision.

• Never use fireworks while using alcohol or drugs.

• Wear protective eyewear if you’re handling or standing nearby fireworks.

• Never hold lighted fireworks in your hands.

• Don’t light fireworks indoors. They should be lit away from people, houses and flammable material.

• Never point or throw fireworks at another person.

• Only light one firework at a time, and

maintain a safe distance after lighting it.

• Never light fireworks in a container.

• Don’t try to relight or handle malfunctioning fireworks.

• Soak both spent and unused fireworks in water for a few hours before discarding.

• Keep a bucket of water nearby to fully extinguish fireworks that don’t go off or in case of fire.

• Never use illegal fireworks.

If you or someone you are with is injured, remember these important medical guidelines to follow: Make sure to not apply any ointments to burns, or take any pain medications while you wait for assistance.

If you experience an eye injury, be sure to follow the guidelines by the American Academy of Ophthalmology: • Do not rub eyes.

• Do not rinse eyes.

• Do not apply pressure.

• Do not remove any objects that are stuck in the eye.

• Do not apply ointments or take any bloodthinning pain medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen unless directed by a doctor.

Remember it is absolutely the best choice to watch supervised professional firework displays but if you’re using your own the above steps may very well keep you and those around you out of harms way.

Pay attention and celebrate safely

Meng Urges Borough Families to Look out for Child Tax Credit Payments Starting Next Month

By Forum Staff U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Flushing) on Tuesday urged families in Queens to look out for upcoming Child Tax Credit payments which will provide advance monthly payments of up to $300 per month per child beginning July 15 through December.

This expanded Child Tax Credit was established under the American Rescue Plan, the most recent COVID-19 relief package.

“Queens, New York City, and the rest of the nation continue to rebound from the COVID-19 crisis and we get closer to the light at the end of the tunnel each and every day,” said Meng. “But hard-working families in our borough, and throughout New York, still need help from the impact of the pandemic, and these advance Child Tax Credit payments will provide critical and needed assistance for expenses as we move forward with our recovery.”

Approximately 82 percent of children in Meng’s sixth congressional district could benefit from this expanded and improved Child Tax Credit — 120,500 children.

About 38,500 households in the district could get an average total benefit of $2,400.

Last month, Meng urged Queens families to file their taxes before the upcoming May 17 deadline to ensure that they receive the full amount of the expanded Child Tax

Credit. Details on the amount, eligibility and distribution of the tax credit are below.

The American Rescue Plan expanded the Child Tax Credit to up to $3,600 per child for children ages 0 to 5 and $3,000 per child for children ages 6 to 17.

The American Rescue Plan also authorized advance monthly payments of the Child Tax Credit through December 2021.

Beginning in July and running through December, qualifying families can get up to: • $300 a month per child for children ages 0 to 5.

• $250 a month per child for children ages 6 to 17.

Families will get their remaining expanded Child Tax Credit when they file their 2021 tax return.

Families will qualify for a full credit if their income is below $75,000 for single filers, $112,000 for people filing as head of household, or $150,000 for people who are married and filing jointly.

• Nearly all hardworking families should get their monthly payments automatically beginning July 15th with no further action required. If you’ve filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020, or if you signed up to receive a stimulus check from the Internal Revenue Service, you will get this tax relief automatically. You do not need to sign up or take any action.

“Child Tax Credit payments will provide critical and needed assistance for expenses as we move forward with our recovery,” Rep. Meng said.

• Families who did not file a tax return for 2019 or 2020 and who did not use the IRS Non-filers tool last year to sign up for the Economic Impact Payments, should go online and use the IRS Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool to sign up today.

• Families who got their refunds from the IRS through direct deposit will get these

payments in their bank account around the 15th of every month until the end of 2021. People who don’t use direct deposit will receive their payment by mail around the same time.

• Families will be able to determine their eligibility, check the status of their payments and more at IRS.gov/childtaxcredit2021.

Disadvantaged NYC Neighborhoods See More COVID-19 Infections and Deaths: Report

By Forum Staff New York City neighborhoods that had higher levels of socioeconomic disadvantage experienced more COVID-19 infections and deaths, according to Mount Sinai scientists who recently created a neighborhood-level COVID-19 inequity index.

The index measured factors that fueled inequities in the residents’ lives, such as employment and commuting patterns, population density of their neighborhood, food access, socioeconomic status, and access to health care. This allowed the scientists to compare between neighborhoods the contributions of these social factors in facilitating disease transmission during the first wave of the pandemic in a study published in Nature Communications in June.

“Much of the early rhetoric around COVID-19 disparities centered on comorbidities which, due to health disparities, may have explained why communities of color were suffering higher mortality. But we were seeing more people of color getting infected in the first place,” said Daniel Carrión, PhD, MPH, first author and postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

“Our research team wanted to add to the

literature outlining how structural racism is related to neighborhood disadvantage, and how that disadvantage is related to increased COVID-19 infections and mortality.”

The COVID-19 inequity index showed that the disparities were considerably worse based on neighborhood racial and ethnic composition; Black neighborhoods had the highest average inequity index, followed by Latinx communities, while white neighborhoods had the lowest. The authors believe one of the reasons for these disparities is the diminished capacity to socially isolate based on where someone lives.

This study showed that areas with higher COVID-19 inequity indices had higher subway ridership after New York State introduced stay-at-home orders. This implies that the residents had less capacity to socially distance, the researchers said, possibly due to their jobs as essential workers or because they lived in denser housing.

The researchers believe their approach to identifying social factors that are associated with viral spread may be useful throughout the United States to pinpoint potential areas for targeted public health intervention.

“The social factors in the COVID-19 inequity index are upstream neighborhood characteristics—they were already in place

City neighborhoods that had higher levels of socioeconomic disadvantage experienced more COVID-19 infections and deaths, according to a recently released report.

before the pandemic,” said Allan Just, PhD, senior author on the study and Assistant Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at Icahn Mount Sinai. “In the near term, this speaks to the importance of place-based interventions in Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities to reduce disease incidence and mortality, such as improved and targeted vaccine availability for these communities. This also supports the need to look at social factors in pandemic preparedness.”

The team analyzed many forms of publicly available data, including census, New York City subway ridership, New York City

Department of Health and Mental Hygiene infections and mortality data, and other datasets available through New York City’s and New York State’s open data portals.

Many neighborhood-level social variables are closely related; for example, median income can be strongly associated with education or even food access. This can be a challenge for traditional statistical approaches, so the team employed a new statistical framework designed to deal with these challenges, developed by co-author Elena Colicino, PhD, assistant professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at Icahn Mount Sinai.

Jamaica Woman Sentenced to More than 16 Years in Prison for Terror Attack Plan

By Forum Staff A Jamaica woman has been sentenced to 16.5 years’ imprisonment for her role in planning a terrorist attack in the United States, federal prosecutors recently announced.

Noelle Valentzas, 33, and her co-defendant, Asia Siddiqui, 36, pleaded guilty on Aug. 23, 2019 to teaching or distributing information pertaining to the making and use of an explosive, destructive device, or weapon of mass destruction in furtherance of a planned federal crime of violence. Siddiqui was sentenced in January 2020 to 15 years’ imprisonment.

According to prosecutors, between approximately 2013 and 2015, Velentzas and Siddiqui taught each other chemistry and electrical skills directly related to creating explosives and building detonating devices; studied the explosives used in past terrorist attacks including the Boston Marathon bombing, the Oklahoma City

Valentzas was sentenced last week in Brooklyn federal court.

bombing, and the 1993 World Trade Center attack; researched how to make plastic explosives and build car bombs; shopped for and acquired materials to be used in an explosive device; and assessed potential targets of an attack, focusing on law enforcement and military-

related targets.

While engaging in these activities, Velentzas repeatedly expressed her support for promoting and waging violent jihad and her desire to commit acts of violence.

Velentzas claimed that Osama bin Laden was her hero, and expressed

praise for the September 11, 2001 attacks as well as Mohammed Shnewer, who was convicted of plotting a terrorist attack against members of the armed services at Fort Dix in New Jersey.

At the time that Velentzas and Siddiqui were arrested in 2015, law enforcement officers searched their residences and found tools of the trade for a terrorist attack, including propane gas tanks, soldering tools, car bomb instructions and jihadist literature, machetes and knives.

“The defendant expressed her support for foreign terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham by learning how to build bombs and other explosive devices and targeting members of law enforcement for terror. Today’s sentence imposes a just punishment on the defendant for her planned horrific crimes,” said Acting Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Mark Lesko. “Counterterrorism and protecting the American people remain among

the highest priorities of the Department of Justice, and this Office, together with the FBI, the NYPD and our Joint Terrorism Task Force partners, will continue to exercise extreme vigilance to incapacitate terrorists.”

John Demers, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s National Security Division, added, “As part of her plan goal to wage violent jihad, Velentzas and her codefendant Asia Siddiqui researched and taught each other how to construct bombs to be used on American soil against law enforcement and military targets. With the sentence imposed by the court, Velentzas has been held accountable for her crimes. The Attorney General recently reminded us that we must remain vigilant against threats from international terrorism, and we are grateful for those agents, analysts and prosecutors who were and brought Velentzas to justice before she could carry out her plans.”

Gillibrand Bill Introduces New Consumer Watchdog Agency

By Forum Staff U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (DN.Y.) on Thursday announced her renewed legislation, the Data Protection Act of 2021, which would create the Data Protection Agency, an independent federal agency that would protect Americans’ data, safeguard their privacy, and ensure data practices are fair and transparent. First introduced in 2020, the updated legislation has undergone significant improvements, including updated provisions to protect against privacy harms and discrimination, oversee the use of high-risk data practices, and to examine and propose remedies for the social, ethical, and economic impacts of data collection. Additionally, the DPA would have the authority and resources to effectively enforce data protection rules— created either by itself or Congress—and would be equipped with a broad range of enforcement tools, including civil penalties, injunctive relief, and equitable remedies. The DPA would promote data protection and privacy innovation across public and private sectors, developing model privacy and data protection standards, guidelines, and policies for use by the private sector. The U.S. is one of the only democracies, and the only member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, without a federal data protection agency. Senator Brown is an original co-

“It’s critical that we modernize the way we handle technology,” Sen. Gillibrand said.

sponsor of the Data Protection Act. Improvements to the 2021 DPA include: • Supervision of Data Aggregators: Grants the DPA authority to review Big Tech mergers involving a large data aggregator, or any merger that proposes the transfer of personal data of 50,000 or more individuals.

• Office of Civil Rights: Establishes

the DPA Office of Civil Rights to advance data justice and protect individuals from discrimination.

• Enforcement Powers: Improves DPA enforcement powers to oversee the use of high-risk data practices and to penalize, examine, and propose remedies to the social, ethical, and economic impacts of data collection.

• Penalties and Fines: Prohibits data

aggregators from committing any unlawful, unfair, deceptive, abusive, or discriminatory data practices; and allows for penalties and fines to be levied if violated, including triple penalties for violations against children.

• Defines Key Terms for Transparency: Provides Key Definitions for Privacy Harm, Data Aggregators, and High-Risk Data Practice, among other key terms.

“In today’s digital age, Big Tech companies are free to sell individuals’ data to the highest bidder without fear of real consequences, posing a severe threat to modernday privacy and civil rights. A data privacy crisis is looming over the everyday lives of Americans and we need to hold these bad actors accountable,” Gillibrand said.

“It’s critical that we modernize the way we handle technology, which is why I first introduced the Data Protection Act last year, in order to create an executive agency whose sole job is to protect data and privacy. The new and improved DPA of 2021 takes on even bigger and bolder reforms, including provisions to help the DPA address Big Tech mergers, penalize high-risk data practices, and establish a DPA Office of Civil Rights. The U.S. needs a new approach to privacy and data protection and it’s Congress’ duty to step forward and seek answers that will give Americans meaningful protection from private companies that value profits over people.”
