Bill > HR3537

This bill, known as the "Targeting Child Predators Act of 2025," amends existing law to establish a new certification and judicial review process for nondisclosure requirements associated with certain administrative subpoenas. The bill allows federal officials (specifically changing references from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Secretary of Homeland Security) to issue subpoenas with a mandatory 180-day nondisclosure period if they certify that disclosure might endanger life, cause flight from prosecution, lead to evidence tampering, intimidate witnesses, or seriously jeopardize an investigation. Recipients of such subpoenas are generally prohibited from disclosing the subpoena's existence, but can consult with attorneys or specific individuals necessary to comply with the request, with the caveat that these individuals are also bound by the nondisclosure requirement. The bill introduces a judicial review mechanism where subpoena recipients can petition a court to review the nondisclosure requirement, and courts can extend the nondisclosure period in 180-day increments if they determine the original concerns still exist. All related court proceedings and documents must be kept confidential to prevent unauthorized disclosure, ensuring the protection of sensitive investigative information.
