This proposal would ban federal agencies from using facial recognition to check who you are. In simple terms, no federal office could ask a computer to match your face from a photo or video to verify your identity. The bill defines facial recognition as systems that automatically identify and confirm a person from a digital image or video frame.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Federal agencies and people who interact with them (for example, when proving who you are to get a service).
• What changes: Agencies could not use facial recognition for identity verification; they would need other methods instead (like IDs, passwords, or in‑person checks).
• When: Would take effect only if passed into law; the text does not list a specific start date.
