Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) co-sponsored H.R. 5586 – the Prohibiting IRS Financial Surveillance Act to block the implementation of a new unconstitutional surveillance scheme from Washington Democrats that would allow the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to monitor private bank account transactions that exceed $600. The legislation does not apply to an existing law that requires banks to report any transactions over $10,000 to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. Rep. Murphy released the following statement: "I have been hearing from constituents across Eastern North Carolina who are outraged about the Biden Administration's attempt to give the IRS the power to monitor private bank transactions above $600," said Murphy. "This egregious invasion of privacy makes the taxpayer guilty until proven innocent, and I will not stand by as this Administration tries to impose a broad, unconstitutional surveillance scheme on the American people. I am proud to support the Prohibiting IRS Financial Surveillance Act to protect taxpayers from intrusive monitoring and put a stop to unlawful government overreach." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:24:51Z |
