Taxpayer Data Protection Act
Sponsored By: Representative Stevens, Haley M. [D-MI-11]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would sharply restrict who can access the Department of the Treasury's public money receipt and payment systems and the data they hold. It creates two narrow access pathways and new oversight for unauthorized use.
Show full summary
- Treasury officers, employees, and contractors would need to be eligible, have a most recent performance rating at the fully successful level or higher, and have served at least 1 year in the civil service or under contract to get access.
- Other individuals would need an appropriate security clearance under the National Security Act, must not be special Government employees, must not violate conflict rules under section 208, must have at least 1 year of continuous civil service, complete required privacy and cybersecurity training, and sign a written ethics agreement.
- Anyone who is not an officer or employee but accesses these systems would be treated as an executive branch employee for conflict-of-interest rules, and actions like stopping or changing payments count as personal and substantial participation.
- The Treasury Inspector General must investigate each unauthorized access and report to Congress within 30 days with a description of the incident, a risk assessment, and details of any stopped payments.

Tighter access to Treasury payment systems
If enacted, Treasury would tightly limit who can access its public payment systems and related data. Access would be allowed only if a person meets Pathway A (Treasury staff or contractor, eligible, “fully successful” rating, and at least one year in role) or Pathway B. Pathway B would require a proper security clearance, at least one year of continuous civil service, required privacy and cybersecurity training, no special Government employee status, a signed ethics agreement, and no conflict-of-interest violation. Anyone outside the executive branch who accesses these systems would be treated as an executive-branch employee for conflict-of-interest law, and stopping or changing a payment would count as personal, substantial participation. The Treasury Inspector General would have to investigate any unauthorized access and report to Congress within 30 days, including risks and any stopped payments.
