House Bill 4810, introduced in the Michigan Legislature, aims to prohibit the use of facial recognition technology by law enforcement officials. This legislative proposal amends the 1927 PA 175 by adding section 21b to chapter XVI. The bill does not specify any exceptions or conditions under which facial recognition technology may be used, nor does it detail specific remedies for violations of this prohibition. On July 10, 2019, the bill was introduced by Representative Isaac Robinson and co-sponsored by Representatives Sherry Gay-Dagnogo and Jewell Jones. It was subsequently referred to the Committee on Judiciary. The primary focus of the bill is to address privacy and civil liberties concerns by restricting the use of facial recognition technology in law enforcement.
