House passes bill setting standards for eyewitness lineups, limits AI-only identification
Summary
The House passed Senate Bill 141, which sets procedures for photo arrays and lineups and prevents facial-recognition AI alone from being the basis for a lineup or photo array.
The Indiana House gave final passage to Senate Bill 141, a bill that sets standards for both in-person lineups and photo arrays and places limits on the use of artificial intelligence in those identification procedures.
"That alone, by itself, cannot be the basis for having a lineup or a photo array," Representative Storwold said on the House floor, explaining that the bill requires some additional supporting evidence before law enforcement may use facial-recognition technology in an identification process. The measure also sets rules for instructions given to eyewitnesses.
Representative Storwold described the bill as establishing clearer processes for law enforcement and improving the reliability of eyewitness identification. The floor vote recorded in the transcript was 92 yeas and 0 nays; the bill passed the House.
The bill will return to the Senate or be enrolled for enactment according to legislative procedures.
