What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.
Commencement not set.
A sensitive categories rule binding government bodies.
As of 28 August 2026.
What it requires
- Do not assume an identifier derived from a photograph, video, or audio recording is excluded from Kansas's Student Data Privacy Act biometric-data definition. It does not address a recording-derived source at all.
What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
The Student Data Privacy Act defines biometric data, K.S.A. 72-6313(b), as one or more measurable biological or behavioral characteristics usable for automated recognition of an individual, such as fingerprints, retina and iris patterns, voiceprints, DNA sequence, facial characteristics, and handwriting.
The definition never mentions a photograph, video, or audio recording in either an inclusion or exclusion clause; there is no clause imposing a recording-derived exclusion and none clawing one back, so whether an identifier derived from a recording is covered cannot be determined from this text and is not recorded as either true or false.
