ND SB2272

Creates Chapter 29-29.6 of the North Dakota Century Code to establish procedures for law enforcement to obtain tracking warrants for electronic device location information.

Requires government entities to obtain a court-issued tracking warrant based on probable cause before accessing location information, with written applications identifying the peace officer and facts justifying the warrant.

Permits warrantless location tracking only when a device is reported lost or stolen, responding to emergency service calls, with documented owner/user consent, with guardian consent for missing or deceased persons, or in emergency situations involving injury or death.

Limits tracking warrants to a maximum of 60 days, with possible extensions of up to 60 days each requiring new judicial findings.

Requires warrants to be sealed for 90 days and filed with the court administrator within 10 days of expiration, with provisions allowing prosecutors to request delayed filing if it could harm ongoing investigations.
