Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 ( 47 U.S.C. 201 et seq. ) is amended by inserting after section 222 the following: Notwithstanding section 222, at the request of an investigative or law enforcement officer in accordance with this section, a provider of a covered service shall provide call location information concerning the telecommunications device of a user of such service to such officer. A request to a provider of a covered service by an investigative or law enforcement officer for call location information under subsection
(a)shall be accompanied by a sworn written statement from such officer stating facts that support such officer’s probable cause to believe that disclosure without delay is required— by an emergency involving risk of death or serious physical injury; or in order to respond to the user’s call for emergency services. No cause of action shall lie in any court nor shall any civil or administrative proceeding be commenced by a governmental entity against any telecommunications carrier, or its directors, officers, employees, agents, or vendors, for providing in good faith call location information or other information, facilities, or assistance in accordance with subsection
(a)and any regulations promulgated under this section. Not later than 48 hours after an investigative or law enforcement officer makes a request for call location information under subsection (a), the law enforcement agency of such officer shall request a court order stating whether such officer had probable cause to believe that the conditions described in subsection (b)(1) or subsection (b)(2) existed at the time of the request under subsection (a). In this section: The term covered service means— a commercial mobile service (as defined in section 332); or an IP-enabled voice service (as defined in section 7 of the Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act of 1999 ( 47 U.S.C. 615b )). The term emergency services has the meaning given such term in section 222. The term investigative or law enforcement officer has the meaning given such term in section 2510 of title 18, United States Code. . Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Federal Communications Commission shall, after public notice and comment, adopt regulations to implement section 222A(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as added by subsection (a).
