Prohibits use of biometric surveillance system by business entity under certain circumstances.
S 1464 prohibits businesses in New Jersey from using face recognition or other biometric surveillance technology on consumers at their physical locations, except when they provide clear notice (like a posted sign) and use it for lawful purposes. Businesses must explain their use of such technology to deny access or remove a consumer, and cannot sell or profit from the collected biometric data. If enacted, violations would be unlawful under consumer fraud laws, potentially leading to fines up to $20,000 per offense. The bill directly affects businesses operating physical locations and their interactions with consumers. (Introduced January 13, 2026; pending in Senate Law and Public Safety Committee).
