IL HB4569

Amends the Biometric Information Privacy Act to add a new exemption for health care employers as defined in the Health Care Worker Background Check Act.

Health care employers are exempt from the Act if they hire employees who have undergone fingerprint-based criminal history records checks as required under the Health Care Worker Background Check Act.

Exempted employers must use and store biometric information exclusively for employment, human resources, compliance, payroll, identification, authentication, safety, security, or fraud prevention purposes.

Exempted employers are prohibited from selling, leasing, or trading any biometric information or identifiers they collect.

Exempted employers must maintain and follow a documented process for deleting biometric information or identifiers collected under this exemption.
