Federal Ban on Facial Recognition and Biometric Surveillance
This bill aims to restrict the use of facial recognition and other biometric technologies by federal agencies. Citizens gain the right to sue the government for violations, and states and local governments may lose federal funding if they use these technologies without proper regulations. This is intended to protect privacy and civil liberties.
Key points
The federal government is prohibited from using facial recognition and other biometric surveillance systems unless explicitly authorized by law with specific guidelines.
Information obtained in violation of these rules is inadmissible in most federal investigations or proceedings.
Individuals can sue the federal government for violations, seeking damages and other legal remedies.
States and local governments using biometric surveillance without similar restrictions may lose federal public safety grants.
