Summary
This bill prohibits the Department of Homeland Security from using facial recognition mobile phone applications (Mobile Fortify and Mobile Identify) outside of ports of entry. It requires DHS to develop standards within 30 days that restrict these applications to port-of-entry identification only, prevent sharing with other federal or state agencies, and remove the applications from non-port systems. The bill also mandates destruction of biometric data (images, photographs, fingerprints) of U.S. citizens captured through these applications, either immediately for past uses or within 12 hours for authorized port-of-entry uses.
