Bill > S1671

This bill, the International Communications Privacy Act, amends the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 to require the government to obtain a warrant to access the contents of electronic communications stored with a provider, regardless of where the communications are stored. The bill establishes a process for notifying and allowing foreign governments to object to warrants seeking communications of their citizens located outside the U.S. It also requires transparency and efficiency measures for mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) requests between the U.S. and foreign governments. Additionally, the bill expresses the sense of Congress that data localization requirements imposed by foreign governments are incompatible with the internet and should be opposed through open data flow policies.
