Requires expedited compliance with certain search warrants in domestic violence and stalking investigations.

This bill aims to improve the speed and efficiency with which law enforcement can obtain information from internet and phone companies during investigations of domestic violence and stalking. It updates New Jersey’s laws to require communications providers like social media platforms and internet services to respond more quickly to search warrants related to these cases. The bill establishes specific timeframes for responses – 72 hours for social media platforms and five business days for other providers – and mandates that warrants clearly indicate the expedited response requirement. This legislation is modeled after a similar law in Oregon designed to protect victims of stalking and domestic violence.
