Bill > HR3718

This bill, the International Communications Privacy Act, would amend the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 to establish new procedures for U.S. law enforcement to obtain electronic communications from providers when the communications belong to a non-U.S. person located outside the United States. The key provisions include requiring U.S. law enforcement to provide notice to the foreign government of the person whose communications are being sought, allowing the foreign government an opportunity to object, and creating an exception to the notice requirement in certain circumstances involving national security. The bill also includes provisions to improve transparency and efficiency of the mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) process.
