Facial Recognition Act of 2022

The Facial Recognition Act of 2022 regulates how law enforcement agencies can use facial recognition technology. It requires law enforcement to obtain court orders before using facial recognition with reference photo databases (with limited emergency exceptions), mandates removal of photos from arrest databases for people who weren't convicted, and requires annual accuracy and bias testing of facial recognition systems. The bill prohibits use for tracking constitutional rights, enforcing immigration laws, or using body camera footage, and establishes reporting requirements for agencies. It also provides individuals with the right to sue if their rights are violated by improper use of facial recognition.
