Fitzgerald’s NDO Fairness Act Passes House
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3089, the NDO Fairness Act, legislation introduced by Congressman Fitzgerald, 412-0.
Background
The Non-Disclosure Order (NDO) Fairness Act reins in prosecutorial abuse and executive branch overreach by strengthening the standards prosecutors must meet when seeking to place non-disclosure orders (NDOs) on service providers.
This bill will prevent federal prosecutors from using indefinite, and often boilerplate, secrecy orders to access third-party communications data. It will also ensure an individual is notified, within 90 days, when their data was searched, and allow that individual to request a copy of any information disclosed.
