The No Altering Public Comments Act would prohibit federal agencies from removing or altering public comments posted on their websites, with limited exceptions for comments that contain threats or pose national security risks. The bill applies to all federal agencies covered under the Administrative Procedure Act and is intended to preserve public input and prevent agencies from suppressing or editing citizen comments. The legislation does not specify funding requirements or implementation timelines. The bill primarily affects federal agencies and the public by restricting agencies' ability to moderate their websites, while allowing Americans to view unaltered public comments submitted to government bodies.
