Bill > HR3782

This bill proposes a comprehensive prohibition on federal government agencies using facial recognition technology for identity verification purposes. Specifically, the legislation defines facial recognition technology as a contemporary security system that can automatically identify and verify an individual's identity by analyzing digital images or video frames. Under this proposed law, no federal agency would be permitted to employ such technology as a method of confirming a person's identity. The bill appears to be motivated by potential privacy concerns and the emerging ethical challenges surrounding biometric identification technologies. By implementing this blanket restriction, the legislation aims to limit the government's ability to use advanced facial recognition systems that could potentially infringe on individual privacy rights or be subject to misuse. The bill's language is straightforward and categorical, leaving no room for exceptions to the proposed prohibition across all federal agencies.
