Mandating Review of Homeland Security Information Sharing Network and Privacy.
This law requires the Comptroller General (GAO) to conduct a detailed review of the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) used by law enforcement and private partners. The review will assess the system's effectiveness, costs, and, crucially for citizens, evaluate whether current policies adequately protect civil rights, civil liberties, and individual privacy. The goal is to streamline intelligence sharing among various partners.
