AI Summary
This bill aims to update chapter 93H of the Massachusetts General Laws, which deals with data security protections, to include biometric information. Specifically, it adds a definition of "biometric indicator" to the law, which includes unique biological attributes like fingerprints, iris patterns, and facial characteristics that can be used to identify individuals. The bill also amends the existing law to include biometric indicators as a type of personal information that is subject to the data security requirements outlined in chapter 93H.
