Protecting Military Servicemembers' Data Act of 2023

HR 6573, the Protecting Military Servicemembers' Data Act of 2023, prohibits data brokers from selling, reselling, or sharing military servicemember lists to "covered nations" (as defined in federal law). It directly affects military members by preventing their personal information - contained in specialized lists created for compiling military service details - from being sold to specific foreign governments. The key mechanism bans the commercial transfer of these lists, with enforcement handled by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general. The law takes effect within one year of enactment or when the FTC issues final rules, whichever comes first. This is a concrete policy change targeting data brokers' practices, not a procedural measure.
