HR 4828 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Blue Shield Privacy Act of 2025
To amend title 18, United States Code, to include additional items within the definition of ``restricted personal information''.
Summary
This Act amends federal law to expand the definition of "restricted personal information" protected under Section 119 of title 18, United States Code. The expanded definition adds license plate numbers, biometric information, workplace address, school address, and global positioning system coordinates to the types of information whose unauthorized disclosure or use related to federal judges and federal law enforcement officers is prohibited. These additions provide enhanced privacy protection for judges and law enforcement personnel and their families beyond the previously protected home address, home phone number, and home fax number.
