SB 1396 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 44 (Law and Justice) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions, providing for public servant data privacy.

This bill establishes a new chapter in Pennsylvania law to protect the personal data of current, former, and retired state officials, including the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, legislators, and judges. It specifically restricts data brokers from selling or sharing protected information such as home addresses, phone numbers, and Social Security numbers for monetary gain. The legislation defines who qualifies as a covered person and clarifies that information is only protected if it is not already publicly available through official government records or media. Additionally, the bill outlines enforcement mechanisms and provides for legal action to be taken by the affected officials or their authorized agents.
