MINOR

The bill was amended to add three new requirements for identity verification services. It expands the scope to include two new sub-provisions: one mandating that revenue from these agreements be deposited into the state's general fund, and another prohibiting service providers from retaining specific technical data like IP addresses and geolocation information. This ensures public funding and enhances user privacy by preventing the retention of location and network data.
