AI Summary
This bill, the Espionage Act Reform Act of 2022, aims to amend the Espionage Act to authorize the appropriate disclosure of classified information, limit the scope of the offense of disclosing classified information, and make other changes. Specifically, it would allow the disclosure of certain classified information to members of Congress, federal courts, inspectors general, oversight boards, and other authorized entities.
