Paragraph (4) of subsection (c). It requires every decision to classify covered information after July 1, 2025 to be published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress, together with the date of classification, the identity of the classifying authority and an unclassified summary of the justification.
What the document actually says“All decisions to classify any covered information after July 1, 2025 shall be published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress, including the date of classification, the identity of the classifying authority, and an unclassified summary of the justification.”
Some files were made secret after July 1, 2025. Each of those calls must be written up. The write-up goes in the Federal Register and to Congress.
The write-up must give the date. It must name who made the call. It must say why, in words anyone can read.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
