Protecting Judicial Privacy Act of 2026 aims to safeguard personal information of judicial officers in the District of Columbia.

The Protecting Judicial Privacy Act of 2026 mandates that private organizations and government agencies must remove personal information of judicial officers from the internet within 48 hours of a written request. It prohibits the public display of such information on websites, internet directories, and search engines. Judicial officers can also request to keep their secondary residences private. The act allows judicial officers to seek legal relief if their information is disclosed without consent, and it imposes penalties on violators.
