NDO Reporting Act

The NDO Reporting Act (S 5334) requires the U.S. Attorney General to publish an annual report detailing how often delayed notice or prevented notice orders are used in federal courts. The report must show, by federal judicial district, the total number of applications for delayed notice, prevented notice, or extensions, plus the number of orders granting, extending, or denying these requests. It also mandates that the report explain the process used to calculate these numbers. This bill directly affects the Department of Justice (through the Attorney General) and Congress (which receives the report for oversight), aiming to increase transparency around a specific legal procedure involving notification delays.
