What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates an Internet crimes against children surcharge. Under the bill,

if a court imposes a sentence on a person or places a person on probation for

committing a crime, the court imposes a surcharge of $20 for each misdemeanor

conviction and $40 for each felony conviction. Under the bill, the Department of

Justice uses the moneys received from the surcharge to fund the activities of task

forces on Internet crimes against children, and to fund criminal investigations, law

enforcement, and prosecutions relating to Internet crimes against children.

The bill also authorizes the attorney general or his or her designee to issue an

administrative subpoena to a provider of an electronic communication service or

remote computing service that would compel the provider to produce documents or

records helpful to an investigation of an Internet crime against a child. The bill

allows the person issued the subpoena to motion a circuit court to limit or quash the

subpoena and allows the attorney general or his or her designee to request that the

subpoena be kept confidential until after all requested documents and records are

produced.
