Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The bill revises Title 18 provisions to tighten privacy protections for emails and other electronic messages stored by email and cloud providers, while still allowing law‑enforcement access under warrants or consent. It changes language from “divulge” to “disclose,” expands the definition of stored communications, requires notice to customers in most cases, and removes the 180‑day limit on content‑based warrants. The changes affect service providers, their customers, and government agencies that seek electronic evidence.
