Faster data disclosure by large tech providers for public safety

This bill requires large internet and cloud service providers to respond to court orders for data within 72 hours. It aims to speed up investigations and allows citizens to sue providers if delays in providing information cause them harm.
Key points
Providers with over 1 million users must disclose communication records within 72 hours of a warrant or court order.
Courts may grant extensions of up to 7 days if the requested information is particularly complex or voluminous.
Companies have a strict 48-hour window to file motions to challenge or modify a disclosure order.
Individuals harmed by a provider's failure to comply with these deadlines can file a civil lawsuit for damages and relief.
