Bans federal government from creating biometric ID databases for U.S. citizens.

This bill would stop federal agencies from creating or holding databases that store unique body data, like fingerprints or facial scans, for U.S. citizens. This means the government would not collect or keep your unique body data for identity checks.

What Would Change

Currently, federal agencies are not specifically stopped from creating or keeping databases with unique body identity data for U.S. citizens. If this bill passes, federal agencies would be prohibited from setting up or maintaining databases that collect or use unique body information for U.S. citizens. This includes data like fingerprints or facial features.
