Improve the safety and security of Members of Congress, immediate family members of Members of Congress, and congressional staff.

This bill aims to keep the home addresses and other sensitive personal details of Members of Congress, their immediate family, and congressional staff out of public view to reduce threats and harassment . It lets covered people ask government offices and companies to hide or remove their personal information from public websites. Once a request is made, agencies and businesses must take it down within 72 hours and keep it down. Data brokers are banned from selling or buying this information. Covered people can make requests themselves, through an agent, or through certain congressional offices. There are narrow exceptions for news and other speech about matters of public concern, for information the person posted online themselves after the law takes effect, and for certain government or legal needs . If someone breaks these rules and exposes this information, the affected person can go to court to stop it and get a ruling to protect their information. The law does not block lawful press reporting or required disclosures under federal law, but it is meant to strongly favor protecting this personal information .
