Cell location information; require providers to disclose to law enforcement under certain circumstances.

SB 2188 requires wireless service providers in Mississippi to share a user's phone location with law enforcement or emergency dispatch centers **only during life-threatening emergencies** (e.g., risk of death or serious harm), such as responding to emergency calls. It allows providers to voluntarily share location data beyond emergencies and shields them from lawsuits if they disclose information in good faith under this law. The bill also mandates the Department of Public Safety to collect and share provider contact details with emergency dispatch centers to streamline requests. This bill, which died in committee in February 2025, directly affects wireless providers (requiring specific disclosures), law enforcement (granting access to emergency location data), and users (whose location may be shared in urgent situations).
