Bill H.R.1981 contains legal responsibility for any Internet Service Provider to keep detailed records of "your Internet activity for 12 months, your name, the address where you live, your bank account numbers, your credit card numbers, and any IP-addresses you've been assigned."

To be honest, these are characteristics that a lot of Internet Providers most likely already know. The real difference here with the Bill is how they would easily they could then provide this information to law enforcement. It's an intricate set of rules whereby the government agencies have to go through the process of... well... just asking for it. Yep, that's it.
