AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO REVERSE LOCATION AND REVERSE KEYWORD SEARCHES AND COURT ORDERS.

Summary

The bill adds a long list of serious offenses—including violent felonies, sexual crimes, kidnapping and arson—to the category of "reverse‑keyword designated felonies" that can trigger a reverse‑keyword search order. It also defines “data” and “database” for the purpose of the law and mandates that any information returned in response to such an order be kept under seal and destroyed if it is unrelated to the case, unless it could help the defendant. The changes aim to tighten privacy protections while broadening law‑enforcement tools.
