House Approves NDO Fairness Act

6/21/2022

The U.S. House of Representatives today passed the NDO Fairness Act by voice vote. This legislation would restrain the government practice of using non-disclosure orders to block service providers from informing American consumers that their personal information held by third parties, often in the cloud, has been searched by the government.
 
“This was a strong stand by the House that Americans are concerned about privacy and will not grant the government carte blanche to riffle through our personal data in defiance of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution,” said Bob Goodlatte, PPSA senior policy advisor and former Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. “This measure earlier passed the Judiciary Committee by a unanimous, bipartisan voice vote – a good sign of how popular it is on both sides of the aisle. And kudos to Chairman Jerry Nadler and Ranking Member Jim Jordan for driving it to a successful floor vote.”
 
The Project for Privacy and Surveillance Accountability earlier joined with 11 other leading civil liberties organizations in sending a letter (see below) to every Member of the House urging passage.
 
“PPSA will now join with our civil liberties peer organizations to encourage passage of this legislation in the Senate,” Goodlatte said. “There is great support behind this bill by the American people, which should provide enough momentum to expeditiously propel this bill to final passage.”
