Summary

The bill gives the attorney general, or a designee, the power to obtain business records from electronic communication, internet, and telecom providers when investigating state crimes involving internet child exploitation or human trafficking. A magistrate or circuit judge in Hughes County must first approve the subpoena, but the order is enforceable anywhere in the state. Providers must comply without notifying customers, and the data may only be used for law‑enforcement purposes.
