The bill would require law enforcement to obtain a warrant to access emails and other digital records and allow providers to notify customers when government agencies request their data.\n\n\u201cUpdating our laws to reflect the way the world works in the 21st Century is one of my top priorities in Congress. When laws protect a letter in a filing cabinet more than an email on a server, it\u2019s clear our policies are woefully outdated,\u201d said DelBene. \u201cThe Email Privacy Act is a powerful step forward toward modernizing Americans\u2019 civil liberties.\u201d\n\nDelBene is a champion of broader personal data privacy and updating antiquated technology laws. She sponsored the Information Transparency and Personal Data Control Act (H.R. 1816), which would give people control over their most sensitive information.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://delbene.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3284"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0840799659490585, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
