S 3182 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits use of biometric surveillance system by business entity under certain circumstances.

New Jersey's S 3182 prohibits businesses from using facial recognition or similar biometric surveillance systems on customers at their physical locations without specific conditions. Businesses must post clear signs if they use such systems for lawful purposes, and if they deny access or remove a customer based on this technology, they must provide a detailed explanation of their decision. The bill also bans businesses from selling, leasing, or profiting from biometric data collected through these systems. Violations are treated as consumer fraud under state law, with first-time offenders given 30 days to comply before potential fines up to $20,000.
