What this bill does
H.R. 7532, the Federal A.I. Governance and Transparency Act of 2024, would amend federal records law (title 44, U.S. Code) to create new governance requirements for how federal agencies design, acquire, use, and oversee artificial intelligence systems. It sets out purposes such as protecting civil rights, civil liberties, and privacy; ensuring AI is used fairly, safely, and for its intended purpose; and requiring risk assessment, testing, and human oversight. It directs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to issue government-wide guidance and standards, and requires each agency to maintain a public webpage describing its AI policies, notify individuals affected by AI-informed agency decisions, and offer a review process independent of the AI system. High-risk AI systems, or those involving personal records, would need a publicly posted "AI governance charter" describing the system's purpose, data, oversight, and use, with limited exceptions for national security information.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies, their officials (such Chief Information Officers and Chief Data Officers), federal contractors developing AI for government use, and members of the public who interact with or are affected by government AI-based determinations. It aims to increase transparency and accountability without directly regulating private-sector AI use.
The bill was introduced in the House on March 5, 2024, by Rep. James Comer with bipartisan co-sponsors, referred to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and reported out with an amendment on December 18, 2024, by a 36–3 vote. It has been placed on the Union Calendar for consideration by the full House but has not yet received a floor vote; further action, including possible Senate consideration, would be required before it could become law.
