Protects companies that securely store child sexual abuse evidence for police.
This bill would protect companies that store child sexual abuse material for law enforcement from lawsuits, as long as they follow strict cybersecurity rules. It aims to help police manage sensitive evidence more securely by allowing them to use specialized vendors. This changes how private companies can assist federal, state, and local law enforcement with digital evidence storage.
Today, companies storing child sexual abuse material for law enforcement may face full civil claims or criminal charges without a specific federal limited liability framework. If this bill passes, "approved vendors" would receive limited civil and criminal liability protection for this work, provided they meet strict cybersecurity, data location, and reporting requirements, including annual audits and end-to-end encryption.
