Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 629.54 of the Penal Code, relating to intercepted communications.
AI Summary
This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing law that governs the interception of wire or electronic communications, which refers to the process of listening to or recording phone calls, emails, or other digital messages. Specifically, it amends Section 629.54 of the Penal Code, which outlines the required information for a judge's order authorizing such interceptions. The changes clarify that an order must identify the person whose communications are to be intercepted, or if their identity is unknown, any information known about them, and that the description of the communication sought to be intercepted should clearly state the illegal activities it relates to. These adjustments are minor and do not alter the fundamental requirements for obtaining a court order to intercept communications.
