On June 6, the Vermont governor signed S.B. 155 into law, which limits warrantless surveillance and prohibits law enforcement officers from obtaining data from service providers absent a warrant or court-issued subpoena. The bill specifically limits the use of drones by law enforcement personnel. The bill becomes effective on October 1. On June 16, the Illinois General Assembly sent S.B. 2343 to the governor for enactment. The bill would place restrictions on Illinois law enforcement agencies' use of stingray or cell site simulator devices.
