Internet Providers Must Report Drug Crimes to Attorney General

This new law requires internet service providers and remote computing services to report information about illegal fentanyl, methamphetamine, and counterfeit drug trafficking to the Attorney General. The aim is to curb the spread of these substances, but it does not mandate companies to monitor private user communications.
Key points
Internet service providers must report illegal fentanyl, methamphetamine, and counterfeit drug trafficking to the Attorney General when they gain actual knowledge of such activities.
Reports must include account identification data, such as email address, IP address, and username, but not the content of private messages.
Failure to report or providing false information carries significant financial penalties for service providers.
The act does not require providers to monitor users or decrypt encrypted communications.
The Attorney General will publish annual reports on the number of received reports and their outcomes.
