Prohibits collection of biometric identifier information by public or private entity under certain circumstances.

This New Jersey bill (A1488) prohibits most public and private entities from collecting, storing, or sharing biometric data (like facial scans, fingerprints, or voice recordings) without specific conditions. It allows collection only if entities post clear, plain-language notice at all entry points about using biometric surveillance systems. Violations carry a $5,000 fine for first offenses and $10,000 for repeat violations, with repeated violations (five in 30 days) becoming a criminal offense punishable by fines up to $15,000 or up to 5 years in prison. The bill directly affects businesses, government agencies, and any organization using biometric technology in New Jersey.
