S 5317 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Streamlining Law Enforcement Information Sharing Act

This bill requires the Comptroller General to produce a report examining the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN), which federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies use to share information. The report must assess how HSIN is used (including desktop and mobile tools), compare it to alternatives like FBI's JusticeConnect, evaluate its costs and effectiveness, and analyze how well current policies protect civil rights and privacy. It does not change existing laws or create new requirements but mandates this analysis to be submitted to specific congressional committees within one year of the bill's enactment. The focus is on gathering data to inform potential future decisions about information-sharing systems.
