What H.R. 6019 does

H.R. 6019 would repeal a new right for Senators to sue the federal government. That right applies when an internet service provider or the Senate Sergeant at Arms accessed or disclosed data from a Senator's office to a federal agency without giving the Senate office the required written notice of the legal process. It covers instances on or after January 1, 2022.

The right was created in H.R. 5371, the continuing appropriations act signed on November 12, 2025. It lets an affected Senator sue for the greater of $500,000 per violation or actual damages, plus attorney's fees and costs.
