A 759 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires AG to study law enforcement use of facial recognition technology and issue report with recommendations for Statewide policy.

This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to study how law enforcement agencies currently use facial recognition technology and issue a report with recommendations for statewide policy within six months. The report must assess the technology's accuracy, summarize existing law enforcement usage (including for police reports), and propose guidelines for its future use. It applies to all state and local police departments. The study does not create new laws but aims to inform potential future policy decisions.
