Montana will soon require law enforcement to obtain a search warrant before looking through your electronic communications such as emails, text messages, and chats.\u00a0Montana\u00a0Governor Steve Bullock is holding off on signing the bill,\u00a0HB 148<\/a>,\u00a0which would increase electronic privacy protections\u00a0in the state,\u00a0but only because he seeks to\u00a0amend the upcoming electronic privacy protections to be even stronger. Additionally, according to the AP<\/a>, Montana has included a provision in its budget that will work to prevent ISPs from selling their customers data, at least in the state.<\/p>\n

Montana Governor asks for stronger electronic privacy protections<\/h2>\n

The bill was introduced by State Representative Daniel Zolnikov from Billings, Montana. It passed the Montana House in February and passed the Montana Senate in March\u00a0and\u00a0has been delivered to the Governor\u2019s desk for signing. On March 31st<\/a>, Governor Bullock added amendments to set even\u00a0stronger electronic privacy protections in\u00a0the bill\u00a0before he signs it. Governor Bullock called the<\/a> electronic privacy bill:<\/p>\n

\u201ca good bill that protects Montanans\u2019 right to privacy and the right to be free of government searches of electronic information without a proper warrant or investigative subpoena.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Specifically, Governor Bullock wants there to be language that requires law enforcement officers to demonstrate probable cause before being granted a search warrant or subpoena that would violate someone\u2019s privacy. This is a very clear distinction to make, since it is finally being shown in court that an IP address<\/a> is\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0enough probable cause for a search warrant or subpoena.<\/p>\n

Representative Zolnikov expressed willingness to add the amendments, but noted that those protections were in the original drafts of the bill but were stricken during discussions. Now that the Governor has backed the changes, though, it\u2019s likely that the even higher standard of electronic privacy protections may actually take hold in Montana as it had in Minnesota<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other bills seek additional\u00a0privacy\u00a0protections<\/h2>\n

Montana is leading other states in passing other much-needed privacy protections, as well. Another bill by Representative Zolnikov, HB 147<\/a>,\u00a0will force law enforcement officers to get a warrant before searching a device\u00a0if the device owner does not consent to a search. This will cover phones, computers, and other electronic devices. An additional bill from Representative Zolnikov, House Bill 149, would limit the use of license plate scanners, another gross violation of privacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
