A 2567 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires foreign corporations providing electronic communication services or remote computing services to comply with New Jersey subpoenas, court orders and search warrants.

This bill requires foreign corporations providing electronic communication services (like email or messaging apps) or remote computing services (like cloud storage) to comply with New Jersey court orders, search warrants, and subpoenas seeking customer data. Specifically, these companies must produce records - including customer identities, stored data, communication content, and usage details - within five business days of receiving a valid request from a New Jersey court or law enforcement agency. Domestic New Jersey-based companies providing similar services must also comply with out-of-state requests for the same customer information. Violations trigger contempt of court charges and civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per violation, with potential license suspension.
