Records must be made public within 30 days
What the document says“Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall, subject to subsection (b), make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice”
Subsection (a) of section 2. It requires the Attorney General, within 30 days of enactment, to make publicly available every unclassified record, document, communication and investigative material in the possession of the Department of Justice that falls within the nine categories the subsection goes on to list. The release must be in a searchable and downloadable format. The subsection names the Federal Bureau of Investigation and United States Attorneys' Offices as part of the Department for this purpose. It is made subject to subsection (b). The Act was approved on November 19, 2025.
What the document actually says“Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall, subject to subsection (b), make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice”
The Attorney General must put these files online. That must happen within 30 days. People must be able to search the files. People must be able to save them too.
The files come from the Justice Department. That takes in the FBI. It also takes in the offices that bring cases in court. The 30 days start when the law is signed.
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.
