IBIA Expresses Disappointment on Enactment of Florida Law Prohibiting Use of Biometrics in Schools
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - May 15, 2014) - The International Biometrics & Identification Association (IBIA) expresses its deep disappointment that Florida Governor Rick Scott has signed a bill (SB 188) that prohibits the collection of student biometric information in K -12 schools in the state of Florida. IBIA had testified in legislative hearings in opposition to the bill and had urged Gov. Scott to veto the bill upon its passage. "This legislation prevents Florida's public schools from realizing the many benefits that biometrics can provide to student safety and security as well as enhanced productivity of school operations," said Robert Harbour, IBIA's Chairman.
