Bill > HB2608

This bill, known as the "Protecting Everyone from Excessive Police Surveillance (PEEPS) Act," establishes new regulations for how government officials and entities can access and maintain historical location data, which is defined as records revealing an individual's or vehicle's location more than 24 hours prior to access. The bill outlines specific conditions under which such data can be accessed, including obtaining a search warrant for felony investigations, receiving express consent from individuals or vehicle owners, or in cases of exigent circumstances like emergency calls; however, exceptions are made for toll collection, traffic and parking enforcement, and information security. It also mandates that collected historical location data be destroyed within two to seven days unless preserved for a criminal defendant, and requires governmental entities to implement strict security policies, encrypt data, maintain detailed records of access, conduct monthly audits of these records, and provide annual compliance reports. Furthermore, any historical location data accessed in violation of this act will be inadmissible as evidence in court, and local governments are prohibited from enacting less restrictive rules regarding access to this data.
