Bill overview
This bill establishes safeguards to protect the anonymity and confidentiality of tips submitted through phone lines, electronic systems, or websites used by law enforcement for investigations. It requires these systems to encrypt communications and prevent the collection or disclosure of identifying information about tipsters, except for location within a municipality. The bill also restricts access to these communications and reports, making them unavailable for discovery in legal proceedings unless a specific subpoena or court order is obtained.
