ADMINISTRATIVE SUBPOENAS – Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding an administrative subpoena.
This Idaho bill (H 689) revises rules for administrative subpoenas targeting electronic communication service providers (like internet or email companies). It requires these providers to disclose basic account details - such as subscriber names, billing information, service types, and connection records - to prosecutors or the attorney general within 14 days, but only for investigations related to specific criminal violations listed in the bill. The law explicitly prohibits demanding the content of communications (e.g., emails, visited websites) or detailed browsing history, and protects providers from lawsuits when complying with valid subpoenas. It also allows providers to challenge overly burdensome requests in court.
