Protects companies storing child abuse evidence for police, if they meet strict security rules.
Right now, no federal rules exist for companies that store child sexual abuse evidence for police. This bill would give these "approved vendors" some legal protection. In return, they would need to follow strict rules for cybersecurity, where data is stored, and how long evidence is kept. This would help police use cloud services more safely.
Today, there are no specific federal laws limiting the legal responsibility of companies that store child sexual abuse material for law enforcement, nor are there explicit federal cybersecurity or evidence retention rules for such cloud storage. If this bill becomes law, "approved vendors" would get limited protection from lawsuits and charges, but they and the law enforcement agencies they work with would have to follow new federal rules for cybersecurity, data location, annual audits, and evidence retention.
