Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit the use of scanner technology to collect personally identifiable information in certain consumer transactions.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of scanner technology to collect personally identifiable information from consumers during transactions, with the exception of determining a consumer's age. Personally identifiable information includes details like a driver's license number or social security number, but not the age itself. Scanner technology is defined as any device designed to determine a consumer's age that can read information from a driver's license or ID card, record the event, provide results, report historical data, and store at least 1,000 events before transferring data. Violating this prohibition is considered an unfair or deceptive business practice.
