Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

740 ILCS 14/20

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Biometric Information Privacy Act. Provides that an action for a violation of the Act shall be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrued if the aggrieved person provides a private entity 30 days' written notice identifying the specific provisions of the Act the aggrieved person alleges have been or are being violated. Provides that if, within the 30 days, the private entity actually cures the noticed violation and provides the aggrieved person an express written statement that the violation has been cured and that no further violations shall occur, no action for individual statutory damages or class-wide statutory damages may be initiated against the private entity. Provides that a prevailing party may recover actual damages for a negligent violation of the Act (instead of "liquidated damages of $1,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater"). Provides that a prevailing party against a private entity that willfully (instead of intentionally or recklessly) violates the Act may recover actual damages plus liquidated damages up to the amount of actual damages (instead of "liquidated damages of $5,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater").
