LB 204 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Adopt the Biometric Autonomy Liberty Law

Nebraska's LB 204, the Biometric Autonomy Liberty Law, establishes rules for how businesses and government entities handle biometric data like fingerprints, voice prints, and iris scans. It requires businesses to obtain clear written consent from individuals (using simple language) before collecting biometric data, prohibits forcing people to use implantable devices or submit to biometric collection, and gives individuals ownership of their data. Businesses must securely store biometric data, allow individuals to transfer their data to another provider within 30 days upon request, and destroy it after a set period or when the original purpose is met. The law applies to all private businesses in Nebraska and aims to regulate data use while prioritizing individual control over sensitive biometric information.
