Dossier Legislative introduced 21-jul-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act

Key claim: The Protection Against Mass Surveillance Act (HR9800, 119th Congress) would create statutory protections against mass surveillance and was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Abstract

(HR9800 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-21): Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Why this matters

Mass surveillance programs implicate the Fourth Amendment and due process rights of broad, undifferentiated populations, including protected classes disproportionately subject to monitoring. A statutory bar—if enacted—would shift protections from case-by-case constitutional litigation to a bright-line legislative rule, but at referral stage the bill’s practical effect on affected groups remains speculative.
