AI Summary

This bill requires law enforcement agencies to obtain search warrants for electronic information, data, location information, and other identifying information of subscribers and customers, except in specified circumstances. The bill defines key terms like "electronic communication service," "electronic device," and "location information service." It outlines the process for obtaining a warrant, including exceptions where a warrant is not required, and requires law enforcement to notify the owner of the electronic device or information within 14 days, with the ability to delay notification under certain conditions. The bill also restricts law enforcement's ability to obtain and use subscriber records and other third-party electronic information without a warrant, with some exceptions. Finally, the bill states that any electronic information or records obtained in violation of the chapter will be subject to exclusion rules as if they were obtained in violation of constitutional protections.
