Summary

Consumer and Investor Access to Information Act of 1999 - Title I: Commerce in Duplicated Databases Prohibited - Proscribes the sale or distribution of databases to the public that: (1) is a duplicate of another database collected and organized by another person; and (2) is sold or distributed in commerce in competition with that other database. Excludes from such proscription: (1) government databases; (2) databases related to Internet communications; (3) computer programs; and (4) subscriber list information. Preempts State law that is not consistent with this Act. Sets forth liability limitations for service providers and misuse of the duplicate distribution protection.

Title II: Securities Market Information - Amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to set forth civil remedies for the misappropriation of real-time market information, including injunctions, monetary relief, and disgorgement.
