AZ SB1373

Amends parental rights law to require written parental consent before schools or school service providers collect biometric information from elementary or secondary students.

Defines "biometric identifier" and "biometric information" to include fingerprints, iris/retina scans, facial characteristics, DNA, and physical movement tracking, but excludes writing samples, signatures, and demographic data.

Requires schools and school service providers to develop written policies limiting biometric collection to legitimate educational purposes and mandating permanent destruction of biometric data within 3 years of last student interaction or when no longer educationally beneficial.

Prohibits schools and service providers from sharing, selling, leasing, or profiting from student biometric information and restricts disclosure except with written consent, by court order, state/federal law requirement, or for authorized financial transactions.

Establishes private right of action with damages of $1,000-$5,000 for negligent or intentional violations and $10,000 for profiting from biometric information, plus attorney's fees and potential injunctive relief.
