AR SB256

Director of Arkansas State Police or designee may issue administrative subpoenas for documents and records relevant to investigations of sexual exploitation of minors, provided there is reasonable cause to believe an internet or electronic service account was used in the exploitation.

Subpoenas may require production of subscriber information including name, address, telephone records, service duration, account numbers, and payment source information.

Providers of electronic communication or remote computing services are prohibited from disclosing in-transit communications, account passwords, account content (including emails, contact lists, financial records, and stored files) unless ordered by court.

Recipients of subpoenas may petition a court to modify, quash, or prohibit disclosure of information before the return date specified on the subpoena.

If no criminal case results from produced materials within a reasonable period, the director must either destroy the materials or return them to the person who produced them.
