Legislative intent. The legislature finds that new technol- 2 ogies can have a profound impact on people and social systems.

Automated systems 5 used to identify, track, record, store and transfer data, commonly 6 referred to as automatic identification technology, are increasingly 7 being used by public and private entities, including retailers, manufac- 8 turers, and hospitals. The legislature recognizes that as the price of 9 automatic identification technology decreases, the employment of this 10 technology is expected to increase rapidly. The legislature further 11 recognizes that automatic identification technologies may have privacy 12 implications affecting consumers and the general public. The legislature 13 further recognizes that such technology has numerous applications bene- 14 ficial to public and private entities and affecting both consumers and 15 the general public. The legislature further recognizes that understand- 16 ing various applications and potential privacy concerns regarding auto- 17 matic identification technology is an area that needs study and review 18 in order to determine what protections, if any, are needed to protect 19 personal privacy.
