Establishing a Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government as a select investigative subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary.

House Resolution 12 establishes a temporary investigative subcommittee within the House Judiciary Committee tasked with examining how federal agencies collect and use information on American citizens. The subcommittee is authorized to investigate whether executive branch agencies—including the FBI and Department of Justice—have engaged in activities that are illegal, unconstitutional, or otherwise infringe upon the civil liberties of U.S. citizens.

For the average citizen, this means a specific group of lawmakers is dedicated to reviewing government surveillance and data-sharing practices to ensure they align with privacy laws and constitutional protections. The subcommittee is required to issue a final report of its findings by January 2, 2025, at which point its operations will conclude.
