HB 1584 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Establishes the "Biometric Information Privacy Act"

This bill establishes the Biometric Information Privacy Act to regulate how private businesses collect, store, and use data derived from unique biological traits like fingerprints, face scans, and voiceprints. It requires companies to obtain written consent from individuals before gathering this information, clearly explain the specific purpose and duration of its use, and adopt a public policy for securely destroying the data once it is no longer needed. The law also prohibits businesses from selling or trading biometric data, mandates that such information be protected with the same care as other sensitive personal details, and allows individuals to sue for damages if a company violates these rules.
