house Bill H.R. 697
Department of Homeland Security Clearance Management and Administration Act
This bill appears to require DHS to establish a clear and internally consistent system of rules for determining the security sensitivity level of all of their staffing positions, and to produce documentation on evaluations, revocations, and suspensions of security clearances within their department. Additionally, it would require them to comply with data security standards established elsewhere in the government. This would ultimately create more accountability and consistency within government, which is generally a good thing.

I can't even read what this is! I love the idea of this app but it is dangerous if you can't tell constituents what will be implemented and impacted and if content can't be read of we graphics.
What is this "for other purposes"? No to any carte blanche, blank check, bills!!
I agree with others that each act listed needs to receive the same treatment but ad designers and not leave interpretation solely up to crowd sourcing. I also like AndrewKnowsSomething's use of links to the text of bills. This should be implemented app/site wide.
Too vague. Needs more detail and oversight definition before it can be considered seriously.
Not enough information provided to fully understand this bill. Why vote yes on something when you do not fully understand?
Clear rules and regulations as well as accountability are absolutely needed.
This is a checks and balances bill which aims to rank the sensitivity of positions and sets a plan to reevaluate. This is a basic principal in privacy and security data classification. Makes sense. I vote yes.
Streamline process and establish consistency and accountability is good policy.
