"Biometric data collection is not a requirement of EVV"
 

From Kendra Scalia's Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Is Here: What you need to know and how to get involved:

"Biometric data collection is also not a requirement of EVV. Biometrics are the use of technology such as fingerprinting, facial recognition and voice recognition software.  These components work by requiring photographs and audio recordings from your private life."
