The proposed RFID bill that supposedly keeps the interests of the consumers has been deferred and returned to the House Rules Committee of House of Representatives because it was not tabled on the House Legislative floor calendar by March 14.
Washington State Representative, Jeff Morris-authored RFID bill makes it mandatory to seek consumers’ approval before implementing RFID tags to collect, maintain and disclose information on them.
The bill, HB 1031 is now virtually failed to pass legislation and there would be no further discussion in the full House on the bill in 2007.
An RFID Journal story adds the Washington RFID bill clarifies selling or issuing RFID tags that are not disabled, deactivated or removed at the point of sale or issuance must use ‘industry-accepted best standards to secure the data on tag.
