NDO Reporting Act

Bill 118 s 5334, also known as the Delayed Notice Report Act, is a proposed amendment to title 18 of the United States Code. The main purpose of this bill is to require a report to be submitted regarding delayed notice requirements in criminal investigations.

The bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in the use of delayed notice warrants, also known as "sneak and peek" warrants, which allow law enforcement to search a person's property without immediately notifying them. The report required by this bill would detail the number of delayed notice warrants issued, the reasons for their issuance, and the outcomes of the investigations conducted under these warrants.

In addition to requiring the report on delayed notice warrants, the bill also includes provisions for the protection of civil liberties and privacy rights. It seeks to ensure that the use of delayed notice warrants is limited to situations where there is a compelling need for secrecy, such as in cases involving national security or the safety of individuals. Overall, Bill 118 s 5334 aims to strike a balance between the needs of law enforcement to conduct investigations effectively and the protection of individual rights and privacy. It seeks to provide oversight and accountability for the use of delayed notice warrants, while also safeguarding civil liberties.
