What this law does
A school in a school district or a charter school may not collect biometric information from a pupil unless the pupil's parent or guardian gives written permission. At least thirty days before a school collects biometric information, it must give written notice to the parents and guardians of pupils of its intent to collect it.
The notice must include a statement in eighteen point bold-faced capital letters that the parent or guardian must give written permission before the school may collect biometric information.
Collecting biometric information means the noninvasive electronic measurement and evaluation of physical characteristics attributable to a single person, including fingerprint, eye, hand, vocal and facial characteristics, used for the purpose of electronically identifying that person with a high degree of certainty. Senate Bill 1216, chapter 189 of the Laws of 2008, added the same text to Title 15 as section 15-107.
