This bill, the Biometric Autonomy Liberty Law, aims to regulate the collection, use, and handling of biometric data in Nebraska. The key provisions include: (1) defining biometric data as physical characteristics like fingerprints or iris scans, and establishing it as the property of the individual; (2) requiring entities collecting or possessing biometric data to do so securely and allow individuals to transfer their data to other entities; (3) prohibiting the mandatory collection of biometric data; (4) mandating entities to develop policies for retaining and destroying biometric data; (5) requiring informed written consent before collecting biometric data; (6) prohibiting the sale or direct profiting from biometric data; (7) limiting the disclosure of biometric data; and (8) empowering the Attorney General to enforce the law and seek damages and injunctive relief. The law does not apply to law enforcement agencies acting within their scope of authority.
