Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Homeland Security, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Quick Recognition Act would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers to wear scannable QR codes on their uniforms during law enforcement activities. The QR codes must be clearly visible and link to a Department of Homeland Security website displaying the officer's name, badge number, agency unit, and active employment status. The website would also allow the public to submit complaints about officer conduct and would make aggregated, anonymized complaint data publicly available, though personal contact information like home addresses and phone numbers would be protected. Officers must comply with this requirement within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability in immigration enforcement while preserving any existing state and local oversight requirements.
