In wake of BIPA amendments, mediation remains good path

The signing of SB2979 into law in August officially revised the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14/1 et seq. The amendments respond to last year’s Illinois Supreme Court decision that statutory damage claims under sections 15(b) and 15(d) of BIPA accrue on a per-scan basis. Cothron v. White Castle System, Inc., 2023 IL 128004.
