Biometric Data

133 published AI bills across 23 states. Updated daily from official state legislature records.

133 Total Bills
23 States

Biometric data regulation governs the collection, storage, use, and sharing of biometric identifiers — including fingerprints, voiceprints, iris scans, facial geometry, gait analysis, and other physiological or behavioral characteristics. Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) pioneered this area, and numerous states have followed with their own biometric privacy frameworks.

Key compliance requirements include obtaining informed written consent before collection, establishing retention and destruction schedules, prohibiting the sale of biometric data, and providing private rights of action for violations. Penalties under biometric privacy laws can be substantial, as demonstrated by landmark BIPA class action settlements.
