Bill > S1228

This bill establishes regulations for electronic monitoring of employees, customers, and consumers by employers. It defines key terms like "electronic monitoring," "employee," and "personal data." The bill allows electronic surveillance on employer premises as long as it is confined to employee work, with some exceptions. It requires employers to provide written notice to affected parties about the monitoring, including the information collected, the means used, the timing, and the use of the collected data. The bill has provisions for special monitoring in cases of suspected misconduct, and restricts monitoring in private areas. It also grants employees, customers, and consumers the right to review and obtain copies of personal data collected through monitoring, and prohibits employers from retaliating against those who assert their rights under the law. The bill empowers the Director of the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation to investigate violations and impose fines, and provides for civil lawsuits and injunctive relief.
