Under present law, a law enforcement officer, a district attorney, or the attorney general may require the disclosure of stored wire or electronic communications and related transactional records pertaining to the communications, under procedures and conditions provided for by the laws of the United States. Under present law, a subpoena for the production of stored wire or electronic communications and transactional records pertaining to the communications may be issued under the procedures for the issuance of subpoenas and to the extent and under the procedures and conditions provided for by the laws of the United States. This bill revises the above provisions to require law enforcement, district attorneys, and the attorney general to obtain a warrant for disclosure of stored wire or electronic communications and related transactional records. This bill removes a subpoena or other lawful process except a warrant as a process for obtaining disclosure of stored wire or electronic communications and transactional records.
