Makes it illegal to share private information of special operations personnel to threaten them.
This bill would make it illegal to knowingly share private information about special operations personnel or their immediate families if the goal is to threaten, intimidate, or cause violence. This new rule would protect military members, certain Department of Defense employees, and federal law enforcement officers who work with special operations. Those who break this law could face fines and prison time.
Today, there is no specific federal law that makes it a crime to publicly share private information about special operations personnel or their families. This applies when the intent is to threaten or cause violence. If this bill becomes law, it would create a new federal crime for such actions. Penalties would include fines and imprisonment for up to 5 years, or life if death or serious injury occurs.
