The "Facial Recognition and Biometric Technology Moratorium Act of 2023" is a federal bill aimed at imposing a temporary ban on the use of facial recognition and biometric technologies by federal agencies. The main purpose of the bill is to address concerns related to privacy, civil liberties, and potential biases associated with these technologies. The key provisions include prohibiting federal agencies from acquiring, possessing, accessing, or using facial recognition or biometric technology during the moratorium period. This legislation intends to allow for further study and regulation of these technologies before their widespread adoption.
