Blue Shield Privacy Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Williams, Roger [R-TX-25]

Introduced

Summary

Expands federal "restricted personal information" to include license plate numbers, biometric information, workplace and school addresses, and GPS coordinates. This bill would broaden 18 U.S.C. §119(b)'s definition so those identifiers could fall under the statute's disclosure limits and remedies.

Show full summary
  • Families and individuals: More everyday identifiers would be treated as restricted personal information, so sharing them could trigger the law's prohibitions or remedies.
  • Students and workers: Workplace and school addresses would gain the same protected status as home fax numbers, extending privacy protection for employees and students.
  • Data holders and publishers: Entities that collect or publish personal data would face a wider set of identifiers covered by §119(b), potentially changing when disclosures are prohibited.

More personal data treated as private

This bill would broaden a federal anti-doxing rule. It would add license plate numbers, biometric data, workplace and school addresses, and GPS coordinates to the list of protected details. It would keep home fax numbers protected too. If enacted, it would be harder to publish these details to threaten or harass people protected by that statute, such as certain officials. The bill does not set a start date.
