SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Installation of a pen register or trap and trace device; emergency circumstances. Provides that when disclosure of real-time location data is not prohibited by federal law, an investigative or law-enforcement officer may obtain a pen register or trap and trace device installation without a court order in certain emergency circumstances. The bill provides that when a pen register or trap and trace device is installed without a court order under such circumstances, the investigative or law-enforcement officer shall file with the appropriate court, within three days of seeking such installation, a written statement setting forth the facts giving rise to the emergency and the reasons why the installation of the pen register or trap and trace device was believed to be important in addressing the emergency. The bill also provides that real-time location data may be obtained without a warrant from a provider of electronic communication service or remote computing service in order to locate a child who is reasonably believed to have been abducted or to be missing and endangered.
