This bill requires heads of federal agencies to tell the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) about contacts agency officers or employees made with private online platforms during the five years before the bill became law. Agencies must list contacts that sought to remove or suppress lawful speech, add disclaimers or alerts to lawful speech, or remove or restrict a person or entity from a platform. For each contact agencies must provide details such as the sub-agency, names and positions of employees involved, the legal authority cited (or an explanation if none), the platform and platform employees contacted, a written justification, and the outcome. If an agency had no such contacts in that five-year period, the agency head must send a certification saying so within 90 days. OMB must send a report to two congressional committees within 210 days that includes the agency submissions and a summary organized by platform; certain descriptive information must be unclassified. Each agency Inspector General must review the agency's compliance and report to the same congressional committees, and agencies found noncompliant must brief those committees within 60 days after the committee receives the Inspector General report. The bill defines agency, Director (OMB), and uses the statutory definition of interactive computer service from section 230(f).
No publicly available information on costs or budgetary effects. The bill sets reporting deadlines and review requirements but does not include specific funding or appropriation amounts.
