Reproductive Data Privacy and Protection Act

Summary

Prohibits federal use of intercepted communications or compelled electronic records to investigate or prosecute people for seeking, providing, or facilitating reproductive or sexual health care. Requires anyone seeking wiretap, pen‑register/trap‑and‑trace, or compelled account records to include a sworn statement that the contents will not be used to open or conduct investigations or prosecutions related to reproductive or sexual health information, and requires courts issuing such orders to include the same condition. The bill adds a broad statutory definition of “reproductive or sexual health information,” listing examples like abortion, IVF, contraceptives, pregnancy status, menstruation, ovulation, ability to conceive, sexual activity, and related drugs or devices. Applies to intercepted communications and compelled disclosures under current federal surveillance and production statutes; does not appropriate funds or create new programs, and does not specify an effective date.
