SB 1359 - This act provides that a private entity in possession of biometric identifiers or biometric information shall not be liable for damages for the unauthorized or negligent disclosure of biometric identifiers or biometric information if the private entity: (1) Posts and maintains warning signs or notices as specified in the act; (2) Informs the public and the individual about the specific purpose for which the identifier or information is being used; (3) Develops and complies with a written policy establishing a retention schedule and guidelines for permanently destroying identifiers and information; and (4) Stores, transmits, and protects from disclosure all identifiers and information in a manner that is the same as or more protective than the manner in which the private entity stores, transmits, and protects other confidential and sensitive information.
