HR 7445 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.
Evergreen Community Safety Act of 2026
To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide special rules for the time period for complying court orders or warrants to disclose information for certain providers, and for other purposes.
Summary
The bill amends federal law to establish a 72-hour deadline for large electronic communications providers to comply with court orders or warrants requesting disclosure of user communications or records. Providers serving 1 million or more users are classified as "covered providers" subject to this requirement. Courts may extend the deadline by up to 7 days at a time if the information is voluminous or complex. The bill shortens to 48 hours the deadline for providers to file motions challenging such orders. The bill also allows individuals harmed by a provider's failure to meet the disclosure deadline to bring civil lawsuits seeking damages and injunctive relief.
