Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

H. Res. 502 is an introduced House resolution that acts as an inquiry and request for information. It asks the President and directs the Secretaries of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services to promptly provide to the House any documents or communications related to a proposed centralized federal database being developed with Palantir Technologies. The resolution seeks details on the scope of the database, the types of data involved (ranging from tax and identity data to wage, health, and financial information), the intended uses (such as tax audits, investigations, benefit restrictions, or private sale of data), and the procurement arrangements with Palantir (including any sole-source or IDIQ contracts). The request specifies a 14-day deadline for delivering these documents and applies to materials in possession of the President or the named Secretaries. As a resolution of inquiry, this bill does not enact new policy or authorize funding. Rather, it mandates congressional access to documents to inform oversight and public understanding about a potentially sweeping data-collection effort and the government’s relationship with a private contractor.
