D.C. — Congresswoman Suzan DelBene joined a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers led by Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) to introduce legislation this week that would enable companies to shed light on the number of surveillance orders they receive and how many of their users are affected by those demands for information.

Under the Surveillance Order Reporting Act, telecommunications and Internet service providers would be allowed to publicly estimate the number of data requests they receive and the number of individuals targeted for data collection orders under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and national security letters. In addition to Reps. Lofgren and DelBene, the bill is being co-sponsored by Reps. Justin Amash (R-MI), Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), John Conyers (D-MI), Blake Farenthold (R-TX), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Ted Poe (R-TX) and Jared Polis (D-CO).
