Law Changes: No Jail for Agency Rules, Interview Recording, and NSL Repeal

This bill proposes significant changes regarding what can lead to imprisonment and how police conduct interviews. Citizens could no longer be jailed solely for violating rules made by government agencies, unless Congress specifically passes a law making that violation punishable by imprisonment. Additionally, all interviews conducted by federal law enforcement officers would be required to be recorded.
Key points
You cannot be jailed just for breaking a government agency rule unless Congress passes a specific law allowing it.
Federal law enforcement officers must record all interviews.
The government loses some power to demand data (like financial or phone records) without a court order in national security cases.
