Biometric consent legislation is being considered by lawmakers in the rural U.S. state of Maine. A pair of bills, neither of which will be voted up or down until next year, would give state residents more ownership of personal data, including biometric identifiers.
Legislators in both state houses would have to consolidate their bills before sending it to the governor for signing. The bill would not allow the data collector to in any way transfer the data to another organization without permission.
