CT SB01092

Changes the standard for court-ordered disclosure of cellular telephone and internet records from "reasonable and articulable suspicion" to "probable cause to believe" that a crime has been or is being committed, or that exigent circumstances exist.

Authorizes law enforcement officials (state's attorneys, state police, local police) to request ex parte orders from Superior Court judges to compel telecommunications carriers to disclose call-identifying information and providers of electronic communication services to disclose basic subscriber information.

Requires law enforcement to notify affected subscribers or customers within 48 hours of order issuance, with ability to delay notification for up to 90 days (renewable by court approval) if notification could endanger safety, facilitate flight, destroy evidence, intimidate witnesses, or jeopardize investigation.

Prohibits storage of information obtained under these orders for longer than 14 days unless the information relates to an ongoing criminal investigation.

Requires law enforcement officials to submit annual reports to the Chief State's Attorney detailing orders issued, the offenses involved, delayed notifications, vacated orders, and outcomes of investigations and prosecutions.
