Employers would be prohibited from secretly monitoring workers' personal communications, location, and biometric data, or would have to clearly disclose when they're collecting such information. The bill aims to protect employee privacy by limiting how much surveillance companies can conduct in the workplace without workers knowing about it. Workers and employers would both be affected, with companies potentially facing restrictions on tracking tools and monitoring practices.
