BLUE Act

This bill changes a federal criminal law that bans publicly sharing restricted personal information about certain covered people, such as federal officials. It would make it a crime to share such information about a federal law enforcement officer with the intent to physically obstruct, impede, interfere with, or retaliate against a lawful federal duty, investigation, operation, or proceeding involving that officer, or to help someone else do so. It would also expand the protected information to include any physical location where a federal law enforcement officer is or is reasonably expected to be, whether on or off duty. The bill uses existing federal definitions for the terms "Federal law enforcement officer" and "immediate family."
