Bill > HR4250

This bill, the "Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act" or the "PRESS Act", establishes limits on the federally compelled disclosure of information obtained by covered journalists as part of their journalistic activities. It defines key terms such as "covered journalist", "covered service provider", and "protected information". The bill prohibits federal entities from compelling covered journalists to disclose protected information, unless it is necessary to prevent an act of terrorism or a threat of imminent violence, significant bodily harm, or death. Similarly, it limits the federal government's ability to compel covered service providers to disclose testimony or documents related to covered journalists, unless there is a reasonable threat of imminent violence. The bill also places restrictions on the content and scope of any compelled disclosure to avoid overbroad or unnecessary requests.
