    *Update* Oklahoma – Biometric Exemption Bill Passed Committee 12-0! Thank You’s Needed!

    This bill would stop the state from collecting and sharing biometric data of you if you sign a form that you have a religious objection.

    I think natural rights will be considered religion even for those who might not typically consider themselves religious, in this situation, don't you?

    HB 1476 will permit a religious exemption for those who object to being enrolled into a biometric identification system.

    This is, in my mind, the most important bill offered this session.

    HB 1476 says that

    “Any applicant who has signed the exemption shall be exempt from supplying biometric data to the Dept. of Public Safety.”

    And

    “The Department of Public Safety shall cease collecting, retaining or disclosing biometric data and from making biometric comparisons of an applicant who has signed the exemption.”

    This exemption means that those with a religious objection to biometric identification and enrollment could get a NON-biometric driver’s license or ID card AND that any biometric data previously collected from you would be deleted from the system.

    HB 1476 reads in part;

    Beginning November 1, 2013, the Department of Public Safety shall modify the application for the issuance of a Class D driver license or an identification card to contain a statement of exemption. The statement of exemption shall contain the following language:

    “BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION”

    “Because of my religious beliefs, I object to enrollment in an international biometric identification system including, but not limited to, facial recognition and digital fingerprinting that directly connects my body to identification and personal biometric information sharing.”

    E. Any applicant who has signed the exemption shall be exempt from supplying biometric data to the Department of Public Safety.

    . . .

    G. The Department of Public Safety shall cease collecting, retaining or disclosing biometric data, biometric samples or biometric templates from and making biometric comparisons of an applicant who has signed the exemption.

    If you think one person can't make a difference, you don't know Kaye.

    She won her appeal today.

    How long before "going liberal" replaces "going postal"?
