Electronic Consent Accountability Act of 2025

This bill requires 16 major federal agencies (including Defense, Health, Homeland Security, and Social Security) to report to Congress within 120 days of enactment on whether they have implemented electronic consent systems as mandated by 2020 OMB guidance (M-21-04). The report must confirm implementation status or detail delays, justifications, and timelines for compliance. It directly affects agencies handling personal data under the Privacy Act by enforcing existing requirements for electronic identity proofing, consent templates on websites, and electronic consent acceptance. The bill focuses on accountability for current OMB guidance, not creating new rules.
