The purpose of this bill is to prohibit a government entity from obtaining the location information of an electronic device without a search warrant issued; exceptions are provided in situations where the device is reported stolen by the owner, where necessary to respond to a user’s call for emergency services, with the owner or user of the device, or there exists a possible life-threatening situation. The bill also provides for a civil cause of action for a violation of the provisions. This article is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
