The proposed Biometric Autonomy Liberty Law aims to establish comprehensive regulations regarding the collection, use, and management of biometric data in Nebraska. It asserts that biometric data is the property of the individual from whom it is collected, granting individuals the right to sell or consent to its use. The bill prohibits any coercion or requirement from private and public entities for individuals to provide biometric data or use implantable devices without written consent. Additionally, entities that handle biometric data are mandated to create public policies for data retention and destruction, ensuring that data is only collected and retained for specific purposes and durations.

The bill also outlines the responsibilities of entities processing biometric data, including secure storage and transmission requirements, and restrictions on the sale or disclosure of data without consent. The Attorney General is empowered to enforce the law, including issuing subpoenas and seeking civil damages for violations. It emphasizes the necessity of informed consent, declaring any waiver of the law's provisions without proper consent as void and unenforceable. The bill includes specific exemptions, such as for emergency medical care and certain federal regulations, and clarifies that it does not conflict with existing privacy laws. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
