AI Summary

  • Amends Arizona's wiretapping and electronic surveillance statutes to add notification requirements when law enforcement conducts interceptions or obtains electronic communications, including mandatory notice to affected parties within 14 days of order expiration.

  • Reduces the maximum initial authorization period for wire and oral communication interceptions from 30 days to 20 days, and for pen registers and trap and trace devices from 60 days to 30 days, with extensions requiring new judicial findings.

  • Establishes procedures for delayed notification of interception orders for up to 30 days (extendable to 60 days for interstate investigations) when law enforcement certifies that notification may endanger persons, cause flight from prosecution, tamper with evidence, intimidate witnesses, or jeopardize investigations.

  • Requires law enforcement to make good faith efforts to identify all persons subject to orders and excludes records obtained in violation of the chapter from evidence under Fourth Amendment protections.

  • Adds definition of "electronic device" and "subscriber record" to the definitions section and establishes that law enforcement must obtain a warrant (not just a subpoena) to access non-subscriber records from electronic communication service providers.
