AI Summary
This bill aims to increase transparency and oversight of the use of administrative subpoenas to obtain telephone and internet records without judicial review. It requires the Attorney General and each District Attorney to annually report on the number and types of administrative subpoenas issued, the information obtained, and the resulting criminal prosecutions and convictions. The reports must be publicly available, and failure to comply can lead to court-ordered mandamus action. The goal is to provide more visibility into the use of this investigative power and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
