Illinois Governor Signs BIPA Amendment into Law Reducing Penalties for Biometric Data Misuse
Aug 5, 2024, 06:14 PM
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed a bill amending the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) into law. This amendment significantly reduces the penalties that companies could face for improperly collecting and using biometric data, such as fingerprints, from workers and consumers. The new law is seen as a business-friendly overhaul aimed at curbing massive damages awards that were previously a risk under BIPA. The amendment has been welcomed by businesses as it alleviates some of the stringent requirements and potential financial liabilities associated with biometric data privacy. The amendment is a significant move in Illinois' consumer privacy landscape.
