BIOMETRIC SURVEILLANCE ACT

Summary

The Illinois Biometric Surveillance Act stops state and local police from obtaining, storing, or using facial‑recognition, fingerprint, iris, voice or other biometric tools, except for limited law‑enforcement purposes like background checks or crime‑scene evidence. It gives individuals a private right to sue and lets the Attorney General bring civil actions. The bill also limits the Secretary of State’s use of facial‑recognition to identity verification when issuing mobile driver’s licenses or ID cards.
