AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Tennessee Protection of Children Against Sexual Exploitation Act," focuses on regulating electronic communications service providers' notification requirements during investigations related to child sexual exploitation. Specifically, the bill prohibits electronic communications service providers from notifying account holders or other unauthorized persons about search warrants or subpoenas issued in connection with investigations into child sexual exploitation offenses. After law enforcement obtains requested information, records, or data, the service provider may notify the account holder after 90 days, but law enforcement can request a 30-day extension to this notification period. The bill amends Tennessee Code in Titles 39, 40, and 47, and is designed to protect the integrity of investigations into child sexual exploitation by preventing potential suspects from being tipped off about ongoing law enforcement activities. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state's urgent concern for child protection.
