What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Justice may issue administrative

subpoenas to providers of electronic communication or remote computing services to

aid in the investigation of Internet crimes against children. This bill expands the

administrative subpoena process to include hotels as possible recipients of

administrative subpoenas, and to include human trafficking crimes as violations for

which an administrative subpoena may be issued.
