Subpoena Abuse Prevention Act

Summary

The Subpoena Abuse Prevention Act changes the law governing administrative subpoenas so that agencies must identify the specific subscriber before demanding records, cannot use subpoenas to investigate protected speech or religion, and must certify the request is lawful. Service providers may notify customers and consult counsel, and agencies must publish annual reports on how many subpoenas they issue. The goal is to curb bulk data collection and protect constitutional freedoms.
