The House has passed legislation that would ban "trigger
leads," except in limited circumstances.
The "Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act of 2025,"H.R.
2808, passed the House by voice vote.The Senate has passed, S.
1467, a slightly different version of the bill by unanimous
consent. The two bodies must now reconcile differences between
their bills. The House-passed version calls for a Government
Accountability Office study on the value of trigger leads by text
message.
We have addressed the trigger leads bills earlier, including here.
Supporters of the bill hailed House passage of the measure.
"The Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act would dramatically
reduce the number of unwanted calls and messages that millions
endure during the homebuyer process," said Rep. John Rose,
R-Tenn., a primary sponsor of the House bill.
