Three progressive congresswomen plan to introduce legislation later this week that would ban biometrics and facial recognition from public housing, a source familiar with the legislation told Motherboard.

Congresswomen Yvette Clarke of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan are planning to introduce the “No Biometric Barriers to Housing Act” this week. This comes after a wave of privacy concerns over facial recognition, as cities from San Francisco to Somerville, Massachusetts have banned public agencies from using the technology. News of the House bill was first reported by CNET.
