Pauses use of facial recognition and biometric technology by federal agencies and law enforcement.
The problem
Facial recognition and biometric technology raise concerns about privacy invasion, surveillance overreach, and potential discrimination against certain groups.
The proposal
Establishes a moratorium stopping federal agencies and law enforcement from using facial recognition and biometric identification systems.
The impact
Federal agencies, law enforcement, and people subject to surveillance are affected. Citizens gain privacy protections; agencies lose surveillance tools.
Stops government from tracking people's faces and biometric data without clear rules. Gives Americans time to decide if this technology should be used at all.
Facial recognition systems often work worse on people with darker skin tones. Pausing use prevents these flawed systems from unfairly targeting minorities.
Gives Congress time to create proper laws and safeguards before facial recognition becomes normal in policing and government.
Studies show facial recognition leads to innocent people being arrested. A pause prevents mistakes while the technology improves.
Police and federal agents lose a tool that helps find criminals, missing people, and terrorists. Investigations may take longer and be less effective.
Without facial recognition, agencies must use slower, older methods to identify suspects. This could allow some criminals to escape justice.
Other countries continue using facial recognition technology. The U.S. government may fall behind in security and intelligence capabilities.
Facial recognition helps identify dangerous people at airports and borders. A moratorium could make it harder to catch threats entering the country.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
