What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill creates rules around devices called cell-site simulators, sometimes known as Stingrays, which pretend to be cell phone towers in order to track or intercept people's phone signals. It generally makes it illegal for people, companies, or government agencies to use these devices without permission, and anyone who breaks this rule could face a fine and would not be able to use the information they collected as evidence in court. There are some exceptions, such as when law enforcement gets a warrant or when intelligence agencies follow specific surveillance laws. People who are illegally tracked by one of these devices would also have the right to sue.
