What this amendment would do

SA 5541, submitted by Mr. KIM, aims to add a limitation on how funds are used for border technology within the bill.

The purpose of this amendment is to stop funds from being used to buy or pay for border security or screening technology until the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of the Department of Homeland Security completes a review and submits a report. This report must be sent to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives at least 30 days before any procurement or payment occurs.

The required report must include:

A description of how the technology would be used.
A determination if the technology can collect data on United States citizens.
An assessment of any concerns regarding the technology being used on United States citizens.
