HB2335 Summary

• Amends the Biometric Information Privacy Act to exclude biometric identifiers converted to mathematical representations (numeric strings or similar methods that cannot recreate the original identifier) from Act coverage.

• Defines "biometric lock" and "biometric time clock" as devices that convert biometric identifiers to non-recreatable mathematical representations and exempts information captured by these devices from Act requirements.

• Waives collection, consent, and disclosure requirements when biometric information is collected for security purposes (preventing theft, fraud, protecting property/persons from harm) if the entity uses it only for security, retains it only as needed, and documents a deletion process.

• Requires the Department of Labor to provide employers with information about Act requirements on its website.

• Clarifies that nothing in the Workers' Compensation Act limits employee recovery under the Biometric Information Privacy Act.
