Such signage must use plain, simple language.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Under the law, the affected businesses must post clear, conspicuous notices near all customer entrances to their facilities. The law gives aggrieved customers a private right of action, subject to a 30-day notice and cure period, with damages ranging from $500 to $5,000 per violation, along with attorney\u2019s fees.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Section 22-1202(b) bars commercial establishments from selling, leasing, trading, sharing, or otherwise profiting from such biometric identifier information.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The law includes a private right of action, which provides: Notice and Cure Period.
