Increased Transparency: Annual Reports on Government's Secret Data Access Orders.
This law requires the Department of Justice to publish annual reports detailing how often the government uses court orders to delay notifying citizens that their electronic data has been accessed. While the bill does not change the rules for accessing data, it increases public oversight of how frequently authorities use these secret data collection powers. Citizens will gain insight into the scale of these practices across different judicial districts.
