Summary

Obtaining electronic communication service or remote computing service records. Provides that any subpoena issued by a court or grand jury, search warrant, or court order directing a provider of electronic communication service or remote computing service to disclose certain information related to a customer may require that the service provider not disclose the existence of the subpoena, search warrant, or order, except to an attorney to obtain legal advice, for a period of 90 days, subject to renewal for additional 90-day periods, if the victim is under 18 and disclosure of the existence of the subpoena, search warrant, or order will endanger the life or physical safety of an individual, or lead to flight from prosecution, the destruction of or tampering with evidence, the intimidation of potential witnesses, or otherwise seriously jeopardize an investigation. The bill also provides that only a circuit court can issue an order for disclosure from a service provider when such disclosure is relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation or the investigation of certain missing persons.
