H.R. 6019: To repeal certain provisions relating to notification to Senate offices regarding legal process on disclosure of Senate data, and for other purposes.

This bill, identified as H.R. 6019, proposes to repeal certain notification requirements that currently exist related to the legal process for disclosing Senate data. Specifically, it targets Section 213 of a previously enacted appropriations law known as the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act of 2026. The section being repealed mandates that Senate offices must be notified when there is a legal process that involves the disclosure of data related to Senate operations. By removing these notification requirements, the bill aims to eliminate the formal obligation for such notifications, which may streamline the process of handling legal requests but could also raise concerns about oversight and transparency regarding how Senate data is managed in relation to legal matters. The bill is currently at the introductory stage in the House of Representatives and it has been sponsored by Mr. Austin Scott from Georgia, along with several co-sponsors from various states. The bill has been referred to the Committee on House Administration for further consideration.
