Evergreen Community Safety Act of 2026
HR 7445, the Evergreen Community Safety Act of 2026, requires large electronic communication service providers (with 1 million+ users) to disclose customer communications or records to law enforcement within 72 hours of a court order. Courts may extend this deadline in 7-day increments for complex or voluminous data requests. The bill also shortens the deadline for providers to challenge disclosure orders to 48 hours and allows individuals harmed by non-compliance to sue for damages and injunctive relief. This directly affects major tech companies and internet service providers meeting the user threshold, streamlining but tightening data disclosure processes for law enforcement.
