U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), joined Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and other Republican colleagues in introducing the "Prohibiting IRS Financial Surveillance Act," legislation to prevent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from implementing Democrats' plan to give the agency access to transaction information of virtually every American.

"Whether it's $600 or $10,000, the IRS should not be spying on the bank accounts of millions of everyday Americans. Instead of tackling the dozens of issues facing everyday Americans, Democrats are focused on growing the size of the federal government and intruding in our lives. I'm proud to join my Republican colleagues in taking a stand against Democrats' proposed power grab at the expense of working Americans and their personal finances," Senator Capito said.
