Transparency in Bureaucratic Communications Act
Introduced Jan 9, 2025 by Sen. Eric Schmitt
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill requires federal offices of inspectors general to include in their existing semiannual reports to Congress information about any communications between their department or agency and certain online platforms and services.
Specifically, such reports must include details on the contents and circumstances of any communication or attempted communication with an internet platform, information content provider, or access software provider. Covered communications include those addressing specific online content, content moderation practices, and any other topic related to a platform's or service's data inputs, algorithms, modeling and simulation processes, analysis tools, or any related tool.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
