Bill > HB745

This bill requires wireless service providers to share a user's cell phone location information with law enforcement agencies or public safety answering points (PSAPs), which are the centers that receive emergency calls, when requested for the purpose of responding to emergency services or in situations involving the risk of death or serious physical harm. Wireless providers are also allowed to create their own procedures for voluntarily sharing this location data. The bill protects wireless providers and others from lawsuits if they provide this information in good faith under the act, and mandates that the Department of Public Safety collect and distribute contact information for all wireless providers to PSAPs to help facilitate these emergency requests. Additionally, the bill brings forward an existing law concerning the confidentiality of automatic number identification (ANI), automatic location identification (ALI), and geographic automatic location identification (GeoALI) information, which includes subscriber details, to ensure it remains protected except for emergency purposes or when legally required.
