AI Summary
This bill, known as the HOUTCHI PC SMALL GROUP Act of 2025, proposes to amend Title 18 of the United States Code to create a new criminal offense related to the communication of classified information through mobile or desktop messaging applications. Specifically, the bill would make it illegal for any person to knowingly communicate, transmit, furnish, or make available classified information on a messaging app, with potential penalties of a fine, up to 10 years in prison, or both. The legislation aims to prevent the unauthorized sharing of sensitive government information through digital communication platforms, addressing potential national security risks associated with the widespread use of messaging applications. By adding a new section (§ 798B) to Chapter 37 of Title 18, which deals with espionage and censorship, the bill seeks to provide a legal mechanism to prosecute individuals who improperly disclose classified information using digital communication tools.
