Florida Senate Approves Bill Banning Biometrics in Schools
A proposal seeking to prevent Florida school systems from collecting students' biometric data has won the support of the Florida Senate.
“The risk of students’ personal information being lost or stolen through the collection and use of biometric data by schools, outweighs any benefit there might be in the schools using it,” said Senator Dorothy Hukill, who spearheaded Bill 188. “We are protecting our students’ futures by ensuring the protection of their biometric information today.”
