Bill > S927

This bill seeks to implement the recommendations of the special commission on facial recognition technology. It prohibits law enforcement agencies and officers from acquiring, possessing, accessing, or using biometric surveillance technology, such as facial recognition, except in limited circumstances. The bill allows the Registry of Motor Vehicles to use facial recognition technology for identity verification when issuing licenses and permits, and allows the State Police to perform facial recognition searches in specific situations, such as executing a warrant or responding to an emergency. The bill also requires various reporting and documentation requirements related to the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement and other public agencies.
