Yesterday the House unanimously passed H.R. 1428 Judicial Redress Act. House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) released the following statement:

“I’m glad to see the House unanimously pass H.R. 1428 The Judicial Redress Act. It’s an important step towards helping rebuild the trust of citizens worldwide with the U.S. government and our technology companies. The European Union’s recent decision to invalidate the U.S.-E.U. Safe Harbor agreement exposes a clear lack of trust. The passage of this bill serves as a necessary first step in improving dialogue with the E.U, highlighting America’s commitment towards user privacy, and enhancing the ability for the U.S. technology sector to expand in Europe.”
