AI Summary

This bill updates the Commonwealth's wiretap statutes. It amends the existing law to allow law enforcement to use modern electronic surveillance methods under strict judicial supervision when investigating certain designated offenses, both those associated with organized crime (such as firearms trafficking, arson, extortion, and money laundering) and other serious crimes (such as human trafficking, weapons trafficking, and civil rights violations). The bill also prohibits the secret use of such surveillance devices by private individuals, ensuring that their use is limited to lawful investigations by law enforcement.
