This bill mandates that the Attorney General conduct a study on the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement agencies in New Jersey. The Attorney General is required to issue a report to the Governor and the Legislature within six months of the bill's effective date. The report must include an assessment of the available facial recognition technology, its feasibility and accuracy, a summary of current usage by law enforcement for generating police reports, and recommendations for a Statewide policy governing the use of this technology by both State and local law enforcement agencies.

The bill defines facial recognition technology as a computer application that utilizes facial recognition algorithms to identify or verify individuals from digital images or video frames. This initiative aims to ensure that the use of such technology is evaluated and regulated appropriately, addressing concerns related to accuracy and privacy in law enforcement practices.
