A bill to improve the safety and security of Members of Congress, immediate family members of Members of Congress, and congressional staff.

This bill aims to improve the safety and security of Members of Congress, their immediate family members, and congressional staff by restricting the public disclosure and sale of their personal information by government agencies, data brokers, and other businesses.

Sec. 1, Protecting covered information in public records: This section defines key terms such as "at-risk individual" (Members of Congress, their immediate family, designated staff, and former Members), "covered information" (home addresses, personal phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, driver's license numbers, bank account numbers, license plate numbers, child identification, school/daycare information, commuting routes, and precise geolocation data), and "data broker" (a commercial entity that collects and sells personal information, with exceptions for news media, directory assistance, internal use, public safety alerts, consumer reporting agencies, financial institutions, and health privacy entities).

Government agencies: At-risk individuals may file notice and request that their covered information be marked private. Agencies must not publicly post such information and must remove it from public content within 72 hours of a request, with exceptions for third parties with a signed release, court order, or confidentiality agreement.

Delegation of authority: At-risk individuals may delegate notice or request authority to an agent. Upon written request, applicable legislative officers (Sergeants at Arms and Secretaries/Chief Administrative Officers of the Senate and House) may make such requests on behalf of Members and designated employees, and may provide lists of individuals to agencies and data brokers.

Data brokers and other businesses: Data brokers are prohibited from knowingly selling, licensing, trading, or purchasing covered information of at-risk individuals. Other persons, businesses, or associations must not publicly post such information on the internet if the at-risk individual has requested non-disclosure, with exceptions for news commentary, voluntarily published information, and information from federal government sources. After a request, they must remove the information within 72 hours and not transfer it, with exceptions for news commentary, voluntarily published information, and transfers at the individual's request.

Redress: An at-risk individual whose covered information is made public due to a violation may seek injunctive or declaratory relief in court.

Rules of construction: The section does not prohibit lawful press investigation or reporting on matters of public concern, impair access to public actions of Members of Congress, limit publication with written consent, or prohibit data broker information sharing with government entities. It is to be broadly construed to favor protection of covered information.

Severability: If any provision is held unconstitutional, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
