Bill overview
The Protecting Americans' Data From Foreign Surveillance Act of 2023 aims to prevent foreign governments from accessing and exploiting U.S. citizens’ personal data. It directs the Department of Commerce to identify categories of personal data that could be harmful to national security if exported, and to establish a threshold for when export controls are needed. The bill requires Commerce to implement controls on the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of these categories, including encryption requirements, and establishes penalties for illegal export activities. It also includes provisions for ongoing review and updates to these controls.
