Two US House Committees have recently passed bills to help protect call records.

The House Judiciary Committee passed a bill outlawing impersonating people in order to obtain their call records. The bills will likely be combined before heading to the House floor for vote. House Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Barton expects the two bills will be introduced - separately or together - shortly and could be signed into law within a few months.

New York "Right to Repair" Law Takes Effect Next Year

Dec 29, 2022
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed into law one of the country's most comprehensive "right to repair" laws.
