Bill > HR4008

This bill prohibits owners of certain federally assisted rental units from using facial recognition, physical biometric, or remote biometric recognition technology in their units, buildings, or grounds. It defines these terms and the types of federally assisted rental housing covered by the prohibition. The bill also requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development to report within one year on any known usage of such technologies in federal assisted rental units over the preceding five years, the impact on residents, the purpose of installing the technologies, demographic information about the residents, and the potential impacts on vulnerable communities of further usage of these technologies.
