Summary
The Postal Data Privacy Act of 2026 requires federal and state law enforcement agencies to obtain a court order before using a mail cover (a procedure that records information about mail sent to or from a specific address). The bill establishes that courts may issue such orders only upon a showing of specific, articulable facts demonstrating reasonable grounds to believe mail covers are relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation. The bill also requires the Chief Postal Inspector to preserve postal records for up to 180 days pending issuance of a court order.
