Of inquiry requesting the President of the United States, and directing the Secretaries of the Treasury and Homeland Security, to furnish certain information to the House of Representatives relating to the implementation and enforcement of the "Memorandum of Understanding for the Exchange of Information for Nontax Criminal Enforcement" between the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Homeland Security.

Plain-English Summary

This bill is a formal request from the House of Representatives asking the President, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of Homeland Security to hand over specific information and documents. The information being requested relates to a particular agreement between the Treasury Department and the Department of Homeland Security called a "Memorandum of Understanding," which is essentially a written agreement that outlines how the two agencies share information with each other for the purpose of non-tax criminal law enforcement — meaning criminal investigations that are not related to tax collection.

The House is essentially using this bill as an oversight tool to find out how this inter-agency agreement is actually being carried out in practice. Congress has the authority to request this kind of information from the executive branch as part of its responsibility to monitor how federal agencies operate. The bill asks both the President and the relevant Cabinet secretaries to provide documents and details about how the agreement is being implemented and enforced.

This bill most directly affects the executive branch agencies involved — the Treasury Department and the Department of Homeland Security — which would be required to gather and submit the requested information to the House. For everyday Americans, this type of legislation is primarily about government accountability, ensuring that Congress can review how federal agencies are working together on criminal enforcement matters. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means, where it will be reviewed before any further action is taken.
