To prohibit the Federal Government from establishing or maintaining a database that contains data collected through, or facilitates, the biometric identity verification of a citizen of the United States, and for other purposes.

This bill would prohibit any federal government agency from establishing or maintaining a database that contains data collected through biometric identity verification or that facilitates biometric identity verification of a U.S. citizen. It defines biometric identity verification as automated recognition based on biological or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial features. The bill was introduced in the House by Representative Ogles on June 3, 2025 and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. If enacted, it would effectively block the creation or ongoing maintenance of centralized biometric repositories or databases used for identity verification by federal agencies, potentially limiting cross-agency biometric programs and pushing agencies to rely on non-biometric methods.
