A bill for an act establishing procedures and requirements for reverse-location information searches by law enforcement or any governmental entity.

This bill requires Iowa law enforcement to obtain a court-approved warrant before using reverse-location data (like cell tower records or geofences around crime scenes) to investigate violent crimes. It mandates that all collected location data be anonymized before sharing with police, and requires detailed maps and clear notices explaining how the search may affect innocent people. The law applies only when an investigation involves a violent felony and presents an imminent threat to public safety. It directly affects law enforcement agencies, data providers (like phone companies), and individuals whose location data might be collected during such searches.
