What is BIPA?

Senate Bill 2400, which later transformed into the Biometric Information Privacy Act or BIPA, was initially presented by State Senator Terry Link on February 14, 2008. It successfully navigated through both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly, receiving approval on July 10, 2008. The bill was subsequently endorsed by then-Governor Rod Blagojevich on October 3, 2008.

BIPA requires companies doing business in Illinois to comply with a number of requirements pertaining to the collection and storage of biometric information. These include a requirement that companies:

  • Obtain consent from individuals if the company intends to collect or disclose their personal biometric identifiers.

  • Destroy biometric identifiers in a timely manner.

  • Securely store biometric identifiers.
