This bill focuses on how the government can keep certain subpoenas secret during an investigation, especially in cases involving child predators. It sets up a formal process to “certify” when a gag order can be added to an administrative subpoena, and it lets a court review that secrecy order. In short, it tries to balance helping investigations with giving judges a chance to check the need for secrecy.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Government investigators and anyone who receives a subpoena that comes with a gag order.
• What changes: Creates a certification process for adding gag orders to certain administrative subpoenas and allows judicial review of those gag orders.
• Purpose: Target child predators while adding court oversight to secrecy requests.
