What this amendment would do

As an analyst looking out for everyday folks, let's break down what Mr. Peters is trying to do with this amendment. Plain and simple, this is about keeping our personal information safe when the government has it.

What It Aims to Change

  • Protects Personal Data: It adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund to the budget resolution that focuses on protecting our personally identifiable information in government systems.

  • Stops Misuse: It aims to make sure things like our photos, fingerprints, biometrics, health records, and tax records are only looked at for the exact reason they were collected in the first place.

  • Prohibits Bad Actions: It seeks to stop people from altering, manipulating, or stealing (exfiltrating) that information.

  • Holds Officials Accountable: It ensures that individuals and agencies engaging in these bad activities are held accountable by the amounts provided in the legislation, as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit from fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
