HR 3782 United States House · 119th Congress

To prohibit the Federal Government from using facial recognition technology as a means of identity verification, and for other purposes.

This bill prohibits all federal agencies from using facial recognition technology to verify someone's identity, directly affecting government operations like border security or benefit applications. It defines facial recognition technology as systems that automatically identify individuals from digital images or video. The key provision bans this specific use across federal departments, though it doesn't restrict other government applications like law enforcement investigations. The law focuses solely on identity verification processes, leaving other uses of the technology unaffected.
