Calif. lawmakers to vote on bills to regulate RFID
April 8, 2007

Computerworld.com: The California State Senate is expected to vote as early as this week on several bills that would regulate the use of RFID technology in government documents. Two of the bills would impose a three-year moratorium on the use of RFID technology in California driver's licenses and public-school ID cards, while a third would create interim privacy safeguards for existing RFID-enabled government IDs, such as those that students use in the state college system. A fourth bill would make it a crime to "skim," or surreptitiously read, data from an RFID document.
