H.R. 3218 would prohibit law enforcement from using intercepted communications or compelled disclosure of customer data to investigate or prosecute people involved in reproductive or sexual health services. The bill amends federal wiretapping and data disclosure laws to require that government agencies applying for surveillance warrants or subpoenas must swear under oath they will not use any obtained information—including reproductive health data—against individuals seeking, providing, or facilitating reproductive care such as abortion, contraception, or fertility treatments. The legislation defines "reproductive or sexual health information" broadly to include data related to reproductive procedures, contraceptive use, pregnancy, and related conditions. The bill contains no specified funding requirements or implementation timelines, instead functioning as a straightforward legal restriction on how federal authorities can deploy communications surveillance tools.
