Idaho Bills

Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding the capture or use of biometric identifiers.

This legislation addresses the commercial capture and use of biometric identifiers, including retina or iris scans, fingerprints, voiceprints, and records of hand or face geometry. Informed consent is required before a person or entity collects a biometric identifier for a commercial purpose. The sale or disclosure of biometric identifiers is prohibited except in limited circumstances, such as with consent, to complete a requested financial transaction, or in response to a warrant. Individuals are also allowed to revoke consent to use biometric identifiers for a commercial purpose at any time. Reasonable care is required to protect biometric data and to destroy such data within a specified timeframe once the purpose for collection has expired.
