Illinois lawmaker proposes changes to the state’s biometric privacy law – Center Square

Senate Bill 2979  would limit the number of claims accrued under that scenario should an employee bring a lawsuit against a company for a violation of BIPA. If a certain biometric identifier is collected by the same employer in the same manner, only one violation would accrue. The measure would also modernize the manner in which written consent can be granted to include the use of electronic signatures.
