## Summary

**Would criminalize sharing a federal law enforcement officer's identity or location when the sharer intends to obstruct, impede, interfere with, or retaliate, or to help someone who does.** It would broaden criminal and civil liability for disclosures and cross‑reference key terms to 18 U.S.C. §115 to clarify who is covered. - Federal law enforcement officers and their immediate family: Would gain explicit protection against public disclosure of identifying details and physical locations where an officer is or is reasonably expected to be, including off duty or off premises. - People and platforms that publish information: Individuals or services that share such details with the specified intent would face criminal and civil exposure under the revised statute. - Legal clarity for prosecutors and courts: Tying the terms "Federal law enforcement officer" and "immediate family" to 18 U.S.C. §115 standardizes definitions across the law and guides enforcement decisions.
