Bill > HRes502

This resolution is a request to the President and a directive to the Secretaries of Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services to provide the House of Representatives with documents related to a centralized database developed by the federal government and Palantir Technologies Inc. The resolution seeks comprehensive documentation about a database that would compile personal information of American citizens across multiple federal agencies, including sensitive data such as taxpayer information, wages, child support, bank accounts, student loans, health records, and other personal details. Specifically, the resolution demands documents within 14 days covering three key areas: (1) the development of the centralized database and the types of personal information being collected, (2) the potential purposes and uses of the database, including whether it could be used for tax audits, criminal investigations, benefit restrictions, or potential commercial sale of information, and (3) details about services provided by Palantir Technologies to various federal agencies, particularly focusing on contracts that might have been awarded without competitive bidding. This resolution appears to be aimed at increasing transparency and congressional oversight of a potentially expansive personal data collection and sharing initiative.
