S 1406 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Targeting Child Predators Act of 2023

This bill modifies how federal agencies handle administrative subpoenas in child predator investigations. It prohibits recipients (like banks or tech companies) from disclosing that a subpoena was issued for 180 days, unless a federal official certifies disclosure would endanger victims, cause flight, destroy evidence, intimidate witnesses, or jeopardize the investigation. Recipients may share information only with necessary parties (e.g., legal counsel) under strict confidentiality rules. The bill also adds a new judicial review process (Section 3486A), requiring courts to quickly evaluate nondisclosure requests within 30 days to ensure they protect ongoing investigations.
