AI Summary

This bill aims to assist the investigation of serious crimes by expanding the definition of "transmitted communication" to include any communication made through various technological means, and by broadening the definition of "designated offense" to include additional serious crimes such as homicide, use of force, controlled substance violations, firearms-related crimes, human trafficking, and related offenses. The bill amends existing law to provide law enforcement with expanded authority to investigate these types of serious crimes.
