Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code. Provides that if a public school or school district collects biometric information from students, it may do so only with, at a minimum, written permission from (i) the individual who legally enrolled the student or (ii) the student, if he or she has reached the age of 18. Prohibits the school or school district from refusing any services otherwise available to the student for withholding permission. Sets forth conditions for collecting and using the information. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement by the State. Effective August 1, 2007.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that public schools or school districts that collect biometric information from students shall adopt policies that, at a minimum require written permission from (i) the individual who legally enrolled the student or (ii) the student, if he or she has reached the age of 18 (instead of providing that if a public school or school district collects biometric information from students, it may do so only with, at a minimum, such written permission). Requires a school district or school that collects a student's biometric information to adopt a policy consistent with certain conditions (instead of providing that the conditions apply to school districts or schools that collect a student's biometric information), and provides that the school or district must forward the policy to the State Board of Education upon adoption and subsequent amendment.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the School Code. Sets forth policy requirements for school districts that collect biometric information, including providing for written permission; the discontinuation of use of the information; the destruction of the information following the discontinuation of use; allowed use of the information; a prohibition on the sale, lease, or other disclosure of the information; and the storage, transmittal, and protection of the information. Provides that the failure to provide written consent for the collection of biometric information shall not be the basis for refusal of any services otherwise available to the student. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective August 1, 2007.
