Bill Summary

Relative to the use of administrative subpoenas to obtain telephone and internet records without judicial review. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Attorney General and district attorneys in Massachusetts to produce annual reports on their use of administrative subpoenas to obtain telephone and internet records without judicial review. The reports must include detailed information such as the number of subpoenas issued, the types of records requested, the results of the investigations, and the number of motions filed to quash the subpoenas. The reports must be made publicly available, and failure to comply with the reporting requirements can result in a court order compelling compliance and potentially awarding the plaintiff's legal costs.
