Secret Service Recording Accountability Act of 2025

This proposal would require the Secret Service to record all communications between agents while they are protecting a person. Recordings must be kept at least 90 days. If certain congressional committees ask, the recordings must be kept for at least 18 months. If someone tries to harm a protected person—or harm actually happens—the recordings must be made available to listed House and Senate committees upon request.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Secret Service agents on protection details; congressional committees that oversee security and spending.
• What changes: All protective communications must be recorded; keep for 90 days by default, or 18 months if Congress asks; make recordings available after an attack or attempted attack to specified committees.
• When: Would take effect by adding these requirements to federal law governing the Secret Service if enacted.
