Protecting Legislators and Survivors of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence from Doxing and Political Violence Act
S 2850, the Protecting Legislators and Survivors of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence from Doxing and Political Violence Act, would protect Members of Congress, their immediate family members, designated legislative employees, and survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault from having sensitive personal information publicly shared. The bill defines "covered information" to include home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, license plate numbers, and details about children's schools or daily routines. It requires government agencies to remove this information from public records within 72 hours of a request and prohibits data brokers from selling or trading this information. Businesses and websites must also remove covered information upon request, with exceptions for news reporting and information voluntarily shared by the individual.
