The SCREEN Act of 2026 expands the types of federal agencies that can access information held by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, a nonprofit that collects reports of child exploitation and missing children. Specifically, the bill adds the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security to the list of agencies permitted to receive disclosures from the center for purposes of screening and vetting individuals. This change allows these two departments to use information about potential child exploitation or missing children cases when evaluating people, presumably as part of visa, immigration, or border security processes. The bill does not include specific funding provisions or implementation timelines. The legislation was introduced by Senator Rick Scott of Florida and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2026.
