Bill overview
This bill, the No Biometric Barriers to Housing Act of 2019, prohibits landlords receiving federal assistance from using technologies like facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, or voice analysis in their properties. It requires a report to be submitted to Congress within a year detailing any past use of these technologies in federally assisted housing and their potential impact on residents, particularly vulnerable communities. The goal is to protect residents’ privacy and prevent discriminatory practices.
