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. These specific search warrants are for information related to investigations of domestic violence, stalking, or violations of stalking protective orders. For social media platforms, the response time is set at 72 hours, while all other communications providers must comply within five business days of proper service of the warrant. The bill also requires that search warrant applications and the warrants themselves clearly indicate that an "Immediate Response Required" and that they are subject to these new time constraints. This legislation is declared an emergency measure, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, and Section 2 of the bill becomes operative on May 1, 2026, with provisions allowing for preparatory actions before that date.
