H.R. 6048

NDO Fairness Act of 2025

Judiciary Committee · Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI)

31 August 2026 | Passed House with amendment (voice vote)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would make it harder for the government to obtain court orders that delay notifying people when their emails and online communications are being accessed during investigations. It would require courts to issue written findings justifying these delays, limit them to 90 days for most cases (up to one year for child exploitation investigations), and ensure the orders are narrowly tailored to what's necessary. The bill would also require the Department of Justice to publicly report annually on how often these orders are used and who they target.
