Summary
The bill lets police officers apply to a judge for permission to place a GPS or similar tracker on a person, vehicle or object when they have probable cause that a crime is occurring. A judge can issue an ex parte order—without the target present—for a set period, and the device may be used anywhere in the state. The measure follows U.S. Supreme Court standards and overrides any prior conflicting statutes.
