Nov 19, 2025House vote #301 · 2025H.R. 6019

Yea

Pass repeal of the Senate data disclosure lawsuit authority

AI-assisted summary

The bill concerns notice when internet service providers or the Senate Sergeant at Arms provide Senate office data in response to legal process. It would repeal a Senator’s authority to sue the federal government over violations of those notice requirements. The House passed the bill under a procedure allowing limited debate and requiring a two-thirds vote; the supplied summary describes the introduced version.

Context: The background contains a date inconsistency: it refers to an enactment signed in 2026, after this November 2025 vote. The precise scope of the law being repealed is therefore uncertain.
