The bill has now been referred to a joint select committee of Parliament for deliberations. The previous law that was ruled unconstitutional by the courts was not reviewed by a joint committee despite requests from civil society and the main opposition Peoples National Party. Under the new bill, the Authority will require biometric information such as facial image, fingerprints, and manual signature, in the case of an individual who is 18 years or older, to enroll a person in NIDS. The bill also provides for a unique national identification number to be assigned to each person.
