Occurrences

No rogue searches. To prevent users from abusing access to these powerful networks under pretext, a written approval process must log every authorization for a search. Preserve an audit log. Agencies must log who searched, why, who approved it, and what was viewed. Supervisors must audit those logs on a regular basis, monitoring for red flags, such as repeat searches of the same person or suspicious justifications.

The announced bill would require written approval for searches and require agencies and supervisors to keep and review audit logs.
