Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit biometric surveillance by the Federal Government without explicit statutory authorization and to withhold certain Federal public safety grants from State and local governments that engage in biometric surveillance.
AI Summary
This bill proposes a moratorium on the federal government's use of biometric surveillance systems, such as facial recognition and other remote biometric recognition technologies, unless explicitly authorized by Congress. It also makes state and local governments ineligible for certain federal grant funding if they do not implement a similar prohibition on the use of these technologies. The bill defines key terms, such as "biometric surveillance system" and "facial recognition," and outlines exceptions, enforcement mechanisms, and rules of construction to ensure the protections are effectively implemented.
