AI Summary

This bill, known as the Quick Recognition Act or QR Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require officers and employees of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) who are involved in law enforcement or immigration enforcement to wear a clearly visible and scannable QR code on their uniforms. A QR code, or quick response code, is a type of barcode that can be read by smartphones and other devices. When scanned, this QR code will link to a publicly available website managed by the Department of Homeland Security, which will display the officer's full name, badge number, agency, and operational unit, along with their active status and a timestamp for verification. While the website may include a photograph of the officer, it will not display personal contact information like home addresses or phone numbers. Importantly, the website will also feature a secure mechanism for individuals to submit complaints about an officer's conduct during an enforcement activity and will make available aggregated, non-personally identifiable data on the number of complaints received for each officer, aiming to increase transparency and accountability without limiting other existing laws or policies.
