What this bill does
H.Res. 1600 is a "sense of the House" resolution, meaning it expresses Congress's opinion rather than creating new law or regulatory requirements. It states that the House Committee on Financial Services should take a leading role in overseeing the use of artificial intelligence in the financial services and housing industries. Specifically, it calls on the Committee to ensure existing laws—including anti-discrimination laws—are enforced as AI is adopted, to identify regulatory gaps, to make sure financial regulators have adequate tools to oversee AI-related products, to consider reforms to data privacy laws given AI's reliance on consumer data, to study AI's effects on the workforce, and to support continued U.S. leadership in AI development.
The resolution reflects concerns outlined in its preamble, including AI's potential benefits (improved underwriting, fraud detection, compliance, and customer service) as well as risks (financial stability concerns, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, biased or opaque decision-making, and disadvantages faced by smaller institutions like community, rural, and minority-owned banks in developing AI tools). It does not impose binding obligations on regulators, companies, or consumers, but signals congressional priorities for future oversight and possible legislation.
The bill was introduced on November 26, 2024, by Rep. Patrick McHenry with Rep. Maxine Waters, and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. As a resolution introduced late in the 118th Congress, it did not receive a vote and expired at the end of that Congress. Any similar measure would need to be reintroduced in a future Congress to be considered further.
