Plain-English Summary
The proposal would limit how law enforcement can use administrative subpoenas—a faster, easier way to get information without a judge's approval—to access people's private communications and records held by companies like email providers and phone carriers. Currently, agencies can issue these subpoenas without court oversight, but this bill would require them to follow stricter rules or get a judge's permission first, similar to what's needed for a traditional search warrant. The change would give individuals more privacy protection when the government wants to access their digital communications.
