Amendment to Chapter 19B • Passed by the Board 12/17/2019 and approved by the Mayor 12/20/2019 • Three issues addressed: › Facial Recognition Technology (19.B.2) › Enforcement (19.B.8) › Implementing Standards (19.B.9) 5

Facial Recognition Technology • Departments prohibited from obtaining, retaining, accessing, or using (1) face recognition technology, or (2) any information obtained from face recognition technology on City-issued software or a City-issued product or device. • With two exceptions 6

Exception 1 • A Department inadvertently or unintentionally gets information obtained from face recognition technology; • And the Department did not request or solicit the information; • And the Department records the receipt of the information in its Annual Surveillance Report 7

Exception 2 • Face recognition technology is a stock, manufacturer- installed capability, and the functions unrelated to face recognition technology are necessary to perform essential City functions; • And the software, product, or device was not acquired for the purpose of facial recognition; • And the face recognition technology cannot be deleted; • And the Department does not use the face recognition technology 8

Reporting requirements for facial recognition technology • Before purchasing the software, product, or device: › The Department makes a written finding that it is not being acquired for the purpose of facial recognition › The Purchaser makes a written finding that face recognition technology is a stock, manufacturer-installed capability; functions unrelated to face recognition are necessary; and that the product is unavailable without the face recognition technology › The Department obtains approval of a Surveillance Technology Policy if the product is a surveillance technology • Departments possessing face recognition technology certify compliance annually and post certification and written findings on the Department website 9

Enforcement • Minor edits to the ordinance clarifying that a Department with an alleged violation has 30 days to correct it within receipt of the notice 10

Implementing Standards • City Administrator or City Administrator’s designee can adopt “rules, regulations, operational standards and interpretative guidelines” to assist departments. • After a public hearing, standards become operative 10 days after being posted on the website • Examples of implementing standards: › Toolkit › Helping departments determine if technologies fall under Ordinance exemptions 11
