Targeting Child Predators Act of 2025

House Votes

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.
