## Summary

**Mandatory agency reporting on federal contacts with online platforms about suppressing lawful speech.** The bill would require each executive-branch agency to list every instance from the past five years where an officer or employee asked a platform to remove, label, restrict, or otherwise suppress lawful speech and to send those details to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget within 90 days, with OMB required to submit an unclassified, platform-organized report to Congress within 210 days. - Agency heads would have to provide a separate entry for every reported contact. Each entry must identify the sub-agency, staff involved and supervisors, name the platform and platform employees contacted, cite the legal authority or explain its absence, and summarize the purpose and outcome. - Platforms and the specific platform employees who were contacted would be named in the unclassified OMB report, making those interactions visible to congressional committees. - Inspectors General must review each agency's compliance and report to the same committees within 210 days, and any agency found noncompliant must brief those committees within 60 days of the Inspector General report.
