What this law does
Assembly Bill A1323 of the 2026 session would require boards of education and boards of trustees to adopt a policy on the use of surveillance systems with artificial intelligence capabilities. The Assembly Science, Innovation and Technology Committee reported A1323 with amendments on . The covered surveillance systems include video surveillance systems, x-ray machines and body scanners.
The policy would have to identify the type of information collected through the surveillance system and say how the board plans to use that information. The policy would have to address the board's plan to provide access to the information that the surveillance system obtains. The policy would have to require the board to post signage stating that a surveillance system with artificial intelligence capabilities is in use in the building or on the school grounds.
A board required to adopt the policy would have to distribute it to the parents and guardians of students within the district. The bill defines artificial intelligence as software and hardware development and the end-use application of technologies able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, including visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, translation between languages and generative artificial intelligence. The bill would take effect immediately and first apply to the first full school year following the date of enactment.
