North Dakota Bans Certain RFID Chips

Friday, April 13, 2007 in News

As expected, North Dakota has become the second state in the U.S. to ban the forced implanting of RFID chips in people, according to news reports.

The two-sentence bill, passed by the state legislature, was signed into law by Gov. John Hoeven last Wednesday. Essentially, it forbids anyone from compelling someone else to have an RFID chip injected into their skin. The state follows in the steps of Wisconsin, which passed similar legislation last year. [end]
