| 115-hr-4010 | 115 | hr | 4010 | Congressional Subpoena Compliance and Enforcement Act of 2017 | Law | 2017-10-11 | 2017-10-24 | Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. | House | Rep. Issa, Darrell E. [R-CA-49] | CA | R | I000056 | 5 | Congressional Subpoena Compliance and Enforcement Act of 2017 (Sec. 2) This bill amends the federal judicial code to establish certain rules that apply in a civil action by the Senate, House of Representatives, or a congressional committee or subcommittee against an individual who receives, but fails to comply with, a congressional subpoena. Specifically, the rules: allow the action to be filed in a U.S. district court; require expedited disposition of the action and any appeals; and authorize court-imposed monetary penalties against the head of a government agency or component who willfully fails to comply with a congressional subpoena. (Sec. 3) Additionally, the bill amends the Revised Statutes of the United States to establish requirements for the recipient of a subpoena from a congressional committee or subcommittee, including: to appear and testify or produce records—books, papers, documents, data, or other objects—in a manner consistent with the subpoena; and to provide a privilege log containing certain information about records that are withheld, such as the type of record and the legal basis for withholding it. | 2023-01-11T13:38:27Z |
