In the September Your Advocate, NCISS advised members of the increased attack on our legal and ethical records access
by privacy rights advocates. This has continued to increase and is very concerning in upcoming state legislatures and the
new session of Congress starting January 2021.

This means NCISS has to be prepared NOW and this will be the most important mission, and Hit the Hill event in 2021!
Until legislation is introduced, it cannot be tracked. However, our lobbyist in Washington DC and the media have given
us warnings as the outlook becomes more clear – and potentially very damaging to our professions.

YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT IS NEEDED NOW!!

Monitor bills in Congress in real-time yourself at www.GovTrack.us - Tracking the United States Congress. Report any
support or concerns for legislation you find to the NCISS Legislative Committee. Its all hands-on deck in 2021!

Legislative Updates

Francie Koehler (NCISS Past President and Legislative Chair-Investigations, and CALI Legislative Chair) is monitoring this

We determined there are several key issues:
1. The attack on DMV is not driven by a rogue investigative journalist, but an effort by several Congressional members to
address the DPPA they consider to be too broad (see attached letter signed by nine members of Congress and two
California Assembly members).
