What this bill does
- This bill makes it harder for the government to obtain secret orders that delay notifying people when their electronic communications are requested.
- It affects people whose emails and digital records may be sought by law enforcement during investigations.
- Courts must now write detailed justifications for these orders, which expire in 90 days unless extended, and the Justice Department must report annually on their use.
