Bill > SB918

This bill requires social media platforms to maintain a law enforcement contact process, including a staffed hotline for law enforcement personnel to receive and respond to requests for information. Except as otherwise provided by law, the bill also requires social media platforms to comply with search warrants within 72 hours if the warrant is provided by a law enforcement agency and the information sought is associated with a user's account. The bill provides that a court may extend the time to comply with a search warrant if the platform shows good cause and an extension would not cause an adverse result. The bill's provisions do not apply to social media platforms with fewer than 1 million discrete monthly users and will become operative on July 1, 2025.
