PROTECT Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to send out guidance on best practices for handling personal information. The guidance would go to federal, state, and local government agencies and to appropriate private sector organizations. It would cover how these groups handle the personal information of their officers, officials, employees, and contractors, and steps those workers can take to stay safe. The first guidance would be due within one year after the bill becomes law, and new guidance would follow every four years after that.
