The proposed bill introduces the "Electronic Information and Data Privacy Act" as a new chapter in Title 12 of the General Laws, establishing comprehensive regulations regarding law enforcement access to electronic data. It defines key terms such as "electronic communication service," "electronic device," and "law enforcement agency," and stipulates that law enforcement cannot obtain location information or stored data from electronic devices without a search warrant based on probable cause, with specific exceptions for cases like stolen devices or with the owner's consent. Additionally, the bill mandates that any data collected without a warrant must be destroyed promptly and allows for the voluntary disclosure of location information by service providers in emergencies or serious criminal cases.

The bill also amends existing laws to impose stricter requirements on law enforcement agencies regarding access to subscriber information, necessitating a warrant except under certain conditions, such as informed consent or emergencies. It protects service providers from liability when they comply with these regulations in good faith and establishes exclusion rules for records obtained in violation of the act. Furthermore, law enforcement must notify device owners about warrant execution within fourteen days, with a possible thirty-day delay if safety or investigation risks are present. Overall, the bill aims to enhance privacy protections while balancing the needs of law enforcement in accessing electronic data.
