Bill > HR3

This bill is a resolution expressing concerns about data privacy and requesting action from Montana's Congressional Delegation regarding the protection of personally identifiable information (PII). The bill highlights the potential risks posed by the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has allegedly gained access to federal digital infrastructure containing sensitive personal data like names, addresses, and social security numbers. The resolution calls on Montana's Congressional Delegation to immediately secure all databases containing Montanans' PII, emphasizing the state's commitment to robust privacy protections. The bill underscores the growing public anxiety about data security, noting that citizens are taking precautionary measures like freezing their credit due to uncertainties about how their personal information might be used. As a formal step, the resolution also requires the Secretary of State to send a copy of this request to each member of Montana's Congressional Delegation, thereby formally communicating the state legislature's concerns about federal data privacy and security.
