Bill overview
The Facial Recognition Act of 2025 aims to regulate how law enforcement uses facial recognition technology. It restricts the use of facial recognition by requiring agencies to use reference photo databases with court orders and prohibits certain uses like face surveillance and creating records of constitutional exercise. States that fail to comply with the Act’s requirements may see grant funding reduced. The bill also establishes procedures for removing photos of minors and individuals who have been released from arrest, and mandates reporting and auditing of facial recognition usage to ensure accountability and address potential bias.
