Blocks federal agencies from using software from foreign-owned companies that handle sensitive employee data.
This bill would stop federal agencies from using software systems owned by foreign companies if those systems handle sensitive personal information for 500 or more government employees. It aims to protect federal workers' data and national security. Companies wanting federal contracts for these systems would have to promise they are not foreign-owned.
Today, federal agencies can contract with foreign-owned software companies to handle sensitive data for government employees. If this bill passes, agencies would be prohibited from doing so for systems that manage sensitive personal information for 500 or more federal employees, requiring companies to certify their ownership.
