Abstract
Advancements in technology are always progressing, often without pause for necessary restrictions and limitations to protect against harm. Biometric information technology has quickly left the United States trailing behind without a federal statute to regulate and limit violations of privacy. This note discusses the advantages and disadvantages of biometric information technology and provides a brief overview of current biometric laws at the State level. It also argues a federal statute is necessary by providing a contrasting example of unregulated biometric information technology in China. After analyzing current proposed bills in Congress, this note offers an outline for a comprehensive federal statute addressing public and private use of biometric technology.
