Bill > S2878

This bill, the Facial Recognition Technology Warrant Act of 2019, seeks to limit the use of facial recognition technology by federal agencies. It defines key terms like "agency," "covered court order," "facial recognition technology," and "ongoing surveillance." The bill requires federal agencies to obtain a court order before using facial recognition technology for ongoing surveillance, with some exceptions for exigent circumstances. It also sets limits on the duration of court orders, requires minimization of data collection, and provides for judicial remedies if the technology is used improperly. The bill also mandates reporting on the government's use of facial recognition technology and requires human review and testing of these systems to ensure accuracy across different populations.
