Subpoena Abuse Prevention Act

Summary

The Subpoena Abuse Prevention Act changes the law so that federal agencies must identify a specific subscriber when issuing administrative, grand jury, or trial subpoenas for phone and app records. It also bars subpoenas that are used to gather bulk subscriber data or to investigate or retaliate against activities protected by the First Amendment. The bill requires service providers to be able to notify customers and to receive certification that the subpoena is not for prohibited purposes.
