Bill > HR4022

This bill, the Cell-Site Simulator Warrant Act of 2021, aims to regulate the use of cell-site simulators, which are devices that can identify, locate, or intercept transmissions from cellular devices. The bill generally prohibits the use of cell-site simulators, with certain exceptions, such as when a law enforcement agency obtains a warrant or when the use is for foreign intelligence surveillance or certain other authorized purposes. The bill also imposes requirements on the use of cell-site simulators, such as disclosing potential disruptions to emergency communications and demonstrating that other investigative methods have been tried or are unlikely to succeed. The bill also requires minimization procedures to limit the collection and retention of information about individuals who are not the target of the surveillance.
