AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would repeal a section of a 2026 funding law (Public Law 119-37) that set rules for notifying Senate offices when legal process seeks disclosure of Senate data. It would also cancel the changes that section made to an existing federal law on Senate data. Any Senator who wins money through a lawsuit allowed by those changes, between the date the funding law was enacted and the date this bill becomes law, would have to pay that same amount into the U.S. Treasury's general fund.
