An Act providing for a requirement for commercial establishments to disclose the use and collection of biometric identifier information and providing for a private cause of action.

HB 596, the Biometric Identifier Signage Act, requires commercial establishments like retail stores, restaurants, and hotels to display clear, plain-language signs at customer entrances if they collect biometric data (such as fingerprints, facial scans, or voiceprints). The bill prohibits businesses from selling, leasing, or profiting from this data and allows customers to sue for violations, with damages ranging from $500 for minor issues to $5,000 for intentional violations, plus attorney fees. It exempts financial institutions and certain video recordings not used for identification. The law takes effect 180 days after passage.
