Bill > S2340

This bill, the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2021, aims to improve the safety and security of federal judges, including senior, recalled, or retired federal judges, and their immediate family. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Allowing federal judges to file written notices with government agencies to mark their and their immediate family's "covered information" (such as home addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, etc.) as private, and requiring agencies to remove this information from public records. 2. Authorizing the Attorney General to provide grants to state and local governments to create or expand programs to protect federal judges' covered information, including by redacting or removing it from public records. 3. Prohibiting data brokers from selling or transferring the covered information of federal judges and their families, and requiring other businesses to remove such information from their websites upon request. 4. Authorizing the Federal Judiciary to monitor threats against federal judges, manage the removal of their covered information from websites, and provide security training. 5. Expanding the capabilities of the U.S. Marshals Service's Office of Protective Intelligence to enhance threat management and protection for the federal judiciary. The bill is intended to ensure federal judges can administer justice without fear of personal reprisal, in the wake of increasing threats and acts of violence against judges and their families.
