What this bill would do

This bill is known as the SCREEN Act of 2026. It was introduced in the House of Representatives on September 24, 2026. The main goal of the bill is to add two specific government departments to a certain list. These departments are the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security. Specifically, they are being added to the list of permitted disclosures for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This change will allow information to be shared with these departments for screening and vetting purposes.
