BIPA-SECURITY PURPOSES
IntroducedRule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee · Mar 27, 2026
In plain language
Amends the Biometric Information Privacy Act to redefine "biometric identifier" and add definitions for biometric lock, biometric time clock, and security purpose, waiving certain consent and collection requirements when biometric identifiers are gathered for security purposes such as door locks or time clocks. Aggrieved persons retain a private right of action subject to a 30-day notice-and-cure period, and entities whose employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with different biometric-data policies are exempted.
