MN SF2466

Requires law enforcement to obtain a tracking warrant before accessing location information from electronic devices, with probable cause that the device owner is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a crime.

Exempts location information requests from warrant requirements in five situations: reported lost/stolen devices, emergency services calls, informed consent of owner/user, consent of legal guardian/next of kin for missing/deceased persons, and emergency situations involving risk of death or serious physical injury.

Limits tracking warrants to a maximum of 60 days per issuance, with extensions requiring new judicial findings and also limited to 60 days each.

Requires judges to notify affected persons within 90 days after unsealing the warrant and directs warrants be sealed for 90 days or until the warrant's objective is accomplished, whichever is shorter.

Mandates the state court administrator report biannually to the legislature on all tracking warrant applications and denials, with reports made public through the Legislative Reference Library and court administrator's office.
