Stop Spying Bosses Act
To prohibit, or require disclosure of, the surveillance, monitoring, and collection of certain worker data by employers, and for other purposes.
This bill, known as the Stop Spying Bosses Act, aims to protect workers' privacy by preventing employers from secretly watching or collecting information about their employees without their consent. It targets practices like tracking employees' online activities, monitoring their private communications, and gathering personal data without their knowledge.
The bill would primarily impact employees across all sectors, ensuring they are not subjected to invasive surveillance at work. It would require employers to disclose any monitoring practices to their employees and get their consent before collecting certain types of data. If an employer violates these provisions, employees could take legal action.
Introduced on June 23, 2026, the Stop Spying Bosses Act has been referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce and the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform and House Administration for further consideration. The bill is in its early stages and will need to pass through several steps before it can become law.
