Pennsylvania State Rep. Joe Ciresi introduced House Bill 2603 to require wearable recording devices such as smart glasses to include a visual indicator that clearly shows when audio or video is being recorded. The proposal would apply to devices sold or used in Pennsylvania.
House Bill 2603 would also make it illegal to obscure or disable the visual indicator on a wearable recording device. The proposal addresses smart glasses and similar products that can record photos, video, or audio.
According to the source, there is no US national requirement for wearable recording devices to include recording lights or other indicators. Some existing smart glasses, including products from Meta, already include recording lights, but the Pennsylvania bill would create a state-level legal requirement.
