Under the BIPA, private companies are prohibited from collecting biometric information unless (1) the person consents in writing and (2) the companies inform the person in writing of what data is being collected, for what purpose, and for how long. Besides the notice and consent requirement, the law also bans any company from selling or otherwise profiting from consumers’ biometrics.

What Is the Equal Rights Amendment?
Currently, the Constitution does not guarantee that all the rights it protects are held equally by all citizens without regard to sex. With 24 words, the Equal Rights Amendment would change that. It would provide that “[e]quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.” It would also give Congress the power to enforce that constitutional guarantee by passing legislation.
