## 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. - 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.
