The Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) does not have jurisdiction over Intro 217 because the legislation concerns biometric identifying information that does not apply to government agencies.
- Intro 217 focuses on biometric identifying information
- The legislation does not cover government agencies
- Since OTI is a government agency, Intro 217 falls outside its purview
- OTI's role is to balance privacy and emerging technology for government operations

So as mentioned in my opening statement, the administration and OTI you know, continues to be committed with city council to ensure the appropriate balance between privacy especially in regard to emerging technology.

In terms of intro 217 to the extent that the legislation supports information, biometric identifying information, but it does not apply to government agencies.

It wouldn't be within in TIs purview.
