Tribal Access to Electronic Evidence Act

Tribal Access to Electronic Evidence Act This bill allows tribal courts to execute warrants for electronic material. The Stored Communications Act (SCA) generally prohibits providers of electronic communication services (e.g., cell phone providers, email providers, or social media platforms) and remote computing services (e.g., cloud computing providers) from knowingly disclosing stored electronic communications or records (e.g., emails) or information pertaining to customers or subscribers. However, the SCA authorizes governmental entities to compel service providers to disclose electronic communication information through a court-issued warrant, a court order, or an administrative subpoena. This bill gives tribal courts the same authority as other governmental entities (e.g., state courts) to compel service providers to disclose stored electronic communication information through court-issued warrants, court orders, or administrative subpoenas.

Safe Access to Cash Act of 2026

This bill would require banks and financial institutions to maintain adequate access to cash for customers, making it illegal for them to eliminate in-person teller services or ATMs in ways that deny people reasonable access to their own money. The law aims to protect consumers—especially elderly people, rural residents, and those without reliable internet access—from being forced into digital-only banking when they prefer or need to use physical cash. It addresses concerns that some banks have been closing branches and removing ATMs, which can make it difficult for certain groups to withdraw and deposit money safely.
