The bill, designated as SB134, introduces a new section, Section 15-22-26.3, to the Code of Alabama 1975, which authorizes the Board of Pardons and Paroles to share electronic monitoring GPS data with law enforcement agencies during active investigations. Specifically, it allows law enforcement to request this data, and the Board is permitted to provide it under the outlined circumstances. This measure aims to enhance collaboration between law enforcement and the Board in addressing criminal investigations.
The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and does not include any deletions from current law. The bill was passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives, indicating legislative support for the proposed changes to the handling of electronic monitoring data in relation to law enforcement activities.
