CFTC Protection of Information and Data Act of 2026

This bill changes the Commodity Exchange Act rules on how the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) shares information it holds. It lets the CFTC give information to federal, state, local, and foreign government agencies that ask for it, with limits on how those agencies may further disclose it. It requires the CFTC to give trader names, addresses, and trading amounts to congressional committees that request them. It also says that the CFTC and the agencies it shares with do not give up legal privileges, such as attorney-client privilege, by sharing information with each other. It states that these rules do not let the CFTC withhold information from Congress or ignore federal court orders.
