The Accountability for Government Censorship Act requires all federal agencies to report to the Office of Management and Budget on any communications their employees had with social media platforms and other online services over the past five years aimed at removing, suppressing, or adding disclaimers to lawful speech. Each agency must submit detailed information within 90 days of the law's enactment, including the names and positions of employees involved, the platforms contacted, the legal authority for the action, and the outcome of the communication. The OMB Director then has 210 days to compile this information and submit a comprehensive report to Congress, with most details provided in unclassified form. Additionally, each agency's Inspector General must review compliance with these reporting requirements and notify Congress if any agency fails to comply properly. The bill does not authorize new funding, but establishes a timeline requiring agencies and inspectors general to complete their reviews and reports within specific deadlines.
