Dossier Legislative introduced 22-oct-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Disaster Data Protection Act

Key claim: A House bill titled the Disaster Data Protection Act has been introduced in the 119th Congress and sent to the Judiciary Committee.

Abstract

(HR10894 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-10-22): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

A bill with ‘disaster data’ in its title and a Judiciary Committee referral could touch how personal information collected during disaster response is handled, retained, or shared, which is a recurring gap in federal privacy law. Until the text is public, it is impossible to tell whether it creates new individual rights, restricts secondary uses by agencies and contractors, or does something narrower. Tracking it early establishes a baseline for comparison once a draft is released.
