 Introduced  by M. of A. GLICK -- read once and referred to the Committee
   on Governmental Operations
 
 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to prohibiting the use of
   biometric surveillance technology by law enforcement; establishing the
   biometric surveillance regulation task force; and  providing  for  the
   repeal of certain provisions upon expiration thereof
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds and declares  the
 following:
   (a)  The  use  of  biometric  surveillance technology has been largely
 unregulated by all levels of government in the United  States  to  date,
 allowing  its  unfettered  use  by private entities, government, and law
 enforcement with little to no requirements or restrictions  relating  to
 use, data retention, privacy protections, and use of information derived
 from  such  systems in law enforcement investigations. In New York, this
 lack of regulation and oversight has led to concerning practices by  law
 enforcement,  such  as  including  sealed  mugshots and arrest photos of
 juveniles in facial recognition databases and running photos of celebri-
 ty lookalikes through facial recognition software to attempt to identify
 potential suspects.
   (b) Studies of currently available biometric  surveillance  technology
 demonstrate  that  such  technology's  consistency and accuracy can vary
 widely based on age, gender, sex, race, and other factors, and has  been
 found  to  be  particularly inaccurate when used on women, young people,
 and people of color.
   (c) These accuracy concerns are particularly troubling in the  context
 of  this technology's ongoing and increasing use by law enforcement. New
 York's law enforcement should not rely on  technology  that  has  demon-
 strated  accuracy issues, as such practice risks the wrongful targeting,

 interrogation, detention, or even conviction of an innocent person based
 on erroneous data.
   (d)  The  largest  U.S.  supplier  of police body cameras has publicly
 stated that  this  technology  "is  not  currently  reliable  enough  to
 ethically  justify  its  use," and other major companies working on this
 technology have chosen not to offer it for general  use  until  concerns
 about the technology's accuracy are resolved.
   (e) In addition to accuracy concerns, the continuous use of this tech-
 nology  for broad, untargeted surveillance purposes constitutes an unac-
 ceptable mass violation of privacy and could chill New Yorkers' right to
 free speech and freedom of assembly.
   (f) In order to protect the personal data, civil rights, civil  liber-
 ties,  and  due process rights of all New Yorkers, the use of this tech-
 nology by law enforcement should not currently be  permitted,  and  more
 study and research should be conducted into the impacts of this technol-
 ogy  before  determining  whether  it  should be authorized for use, and
 under what circumstances such use should be permitted.
   § 2. The executive law is amended by adding a  new  section  837-w  to
 read as follows:
   §  837-W.  USE OF BIOMETRIC SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS PROHIBITED. 1.  DEFI-

 accuracy, provided that such evaluation shall include the use of  repre-
 sentative  datasets according to targeted populations, and disaggregated
 testing for demographic subgroups by age, gender identity, and race;

 systems by law enforcement;
   (ii)  prohibited  uses  and purposes for use of biometric surveillance
 systems by law enforcement;
   (iii) minimum  standards  for  accuracy  that  biometric  surveillance
 systems  must  achieve in order to be authorized for use by law enforce-
 ment, and auditing requirements to ensure compliance with  those  stand-
 ards;

 derived from the use of biometric surveillance systems by  law  enforce-
 ment, including, but not limited to data retention, sharing, access, and
 audit trails;
   (v)  rigorous  protections  for  due process, privacy, free speech and
 association, and racial, gender, and religious equity;

 section.
   (b)  No later than ten days after the task force transmits such report
 to the governor, the temporary president of the senate, the  speaker  of
 the assembly, the minority leader of the senate, and the minority leader
 of  the  assembly,  the division of criminal justice services shall make
