1Repeal of Senate notification requirements relating to legal process on disclosures of Senate data

This section would repeal Section 213 of title II of division C of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026, and it would also repeal any amendments that Section 213 made to other law. Section 213 concerned notification to Senate offices about legal process seeking disclosure of Senate data. Once repealed, Section 213 and those amendments would have no force or effect, meaning the notification requirement and any changes it made to existing law would no longer apply.
