Bill > S3888

This bill, the Government Surveillance Transparency Act of 2022, aims to amend federal law to require more transparency and accountability around government surveillance orders. Key provisions include: requiring courts to limit the sealing of surveillance orders and setting higher standards for extensions; mandating public docketing of surveillance cases; requiring notice to targets of surveillance except in limited circumstances; modernizing reporting requirements for government access to communications and records. The bill also provides grants to state and tribal courts to help implement the new requirements.
