Bill > HB4045

This bill, known as "Kristil's Law," establishes new time limits for communications providers, which include internet service providers, cellular phone companies, social media platforms, and other digital communication entities, to respond to search warrants related to investigations of domestic violence or stalking. Specifically, social media platforms must respond within 72 hours of being served with a warrant, while all other communications providers have five business days to comply. The bill also requires that search warrant applications and the warrants themselves clearly indicate that an "Immediate Response Required" is necessary and that the warrant is subject to these new timeframes. This legislation is declared an emergency measure, meaning it will take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature, and Section 2 of the act becomes operative on May 1, 2026, with provisions allowing for preparatory actions before that date.
