Constitutional referendum on the ownership of biometric data

This bill proposed a constitutional referendum asking voters to decide whether biometric data (like fingerprints or facial scans) collected by government agencies belongs to individuals or the state. It would have directly affected all residents whose biometric data is collected for official purposes, such as identification or security systems. The key mechanism would have been a statewide vote to amend the state constitution to clarify ownership rights. However, the bill died in the legislative process in May 2025 and never became law.
