Bill overview
The Transparency in Classification Act of 2020 establishes an Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP) to review agency decisions on classifying information. This panel will provide a forum for public and congressional review of these decisions, including expedited reviews for members of Congress. The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in the classification system, ensuring that decisions are made with consideration for the public's right to know while protecting national security. It also establishes procedures for agencies to review their own classification decisions and provides a mechanism for challenging them.
