Relates to the use of smart access systems and the information that may be gathered from such systems

Senate Bill S 955 regulates smart access systems in Class A multiple dwellings, affecting tenants, lawful occupants, and building owners. The bill mandates that these systems cannot rely solely on web-based applications for entry, requiring alternative options like key fobs or digital keys, and provides a non-electronic entry option for religious preferences. Owners must provide tenants and lawful occupants with free keys or access cards, including initial replacements, and ensure systems have backup power for outages. Additionally, it limits the types of personal data that can be collected by these systems and prohibits the installation of new biometric smart access systems for three years after the law takes effect.
