Bill > S2356

This bill, titled the Private Sector Call Record Retention Act, amends the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, a law that governs certain intelligence activities, by adding a new requirement for electronic communication service providers. Specifically, if a provider has been ordered to produce call detail records (which are records of phone calls, including numbers dialed, duration, and time, but not the content of the calls) under this Act and intends to change its policy to retain these records for less than 18 months, it must notify the Attorney General. This notification must be given at least 180 days before the provider implements the shorter retention period, providing the government with advance notice of changes to how these important records are stored.
