SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:
Disclosure of real-time location data in emergencies. Provides that an investigative or law-enforcement officer may obtain real-time location data from an electronic communication service or remote computing service provider when the officer believes that an emergency involving immediate danger to a person requires such disclosure and a warrant for such disclosure cannot be obtained in time to prevent the identified danger, regardless of whether the service provider believes that such disclosure is required by the emergency.
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Disclosure of real-time location data in emergencies. Provides that an investigative or law-enforcement officer may obtain real-time location data from an electronic communication service or remote computing service provider when the officer believes that an emergency involving immediate danger to a person requires such disclosure and a warrant for such disclosure cannot be obtained in time, regardless of whether the service provider also believes that such disclosure is required by the emergency. The bill also requires the Department of State Police to obtain and update on a semiannual basis the contact information of service providers authorized to do business in the Commonwealth and disseminate that information to all law-enforcement agencies.
