Bill Summary
Relative to requiring mobile phone providers to disclose to law enforcement officials the location of missing persons. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill, known as "Kelsey's Bill," requires mobile phone providers and in-vehicle security and communications service providers to immediately disclose the location of a user's telecommunications device to law enforcement agencies upon request, in order to respond to emergency calls, assist in missing person investigations, or address situations involving the risk of death or serious harm. The bill also mandates that these providers submit their emergency contact information to the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security annually or upon any changes, and it provides legal protections for the providers when acting in good faith to disclose the location information. The Executive Office is tasked with maintaining a database of this emergency contact information and making it available to public safety agencies.
