What changed in the latest version
76 added · 77 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of HB 4045 introduces a new provision known as “Kristil’s Law,” which sets specific time limits for communications providers to respond to search warrants tied to investigations of stalking or domestic violence. Social media platforms are now required to respond within 72 hours, while other communications providers have a five business day deadline. This change is significant because it aims to ensure quicker access to crucial information in urgent cases involving domestic violence, potentially improving victim safety and support. Additionally, the bill now officially declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect as soon as it is signed by the Governor.
