What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, no law enforcement officer may identify or track the location of an individual’s communication device, such as a phone or another device that transmits communications, unless the law enforcement officer has a warrant or an exception applies such as for exigent circumstances or with consent of the owner.
This bill prohibits a law enforcement agency from requesting, obtaining, or receiving access to any individual’s personal data in exchange for payment or a thing of value without a warrant. The bill creates the same exceptions to the prohibition for exigent circumstances or with consent of the owner. The bill defines “personal data” as information collected from or generated by an individual as part of a consumer transaction or as part of the use of a product or service, including billing information, demographic data, Internet search history, or use of applications.
