Accountability for Government Censorship Act

This bill, known as the "Accountability for Government Censorship Act," mandates that federal agencies disclose instances where their employees communicated with non-governmental platforms to influence lawful speech. Within 90 days of enactment, each agency head must report to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) all such communications from the preceding five years, including those intended to remove, suppress, or add disclaimers to lawful speech, or restrict platform access. Agencies must provide detailed information for each communication, such as the employees involved, their statutory authority, the platform contacted, and the communication's justification and outcome.

The OMB Director is then required to compile these agency reports into a comprehensive, unclassified report for Congress within 210 days, summarizing the communications by platform. Additionally, the bill tasks each agency's Inspector General with reviewing their agency's compliance with these new reporting requirements and submitting their findings to Congress. Agencies found to be non-compliant by their Inspector General must then brief the relevant Congressional committees.
