Relating to the confidentiality of administrative subpoenas for offenses that involve the Internet-based sexual exploitation of a minor.
HB 3417 modifies Texas law to protect the confidentiality of administrative subpoenas issued in investigations involving internet-based sexual exploitation of minors. It allows prosecutors or ICAC task force officers to restrict service providers from disclosing that a subpoena was issued, revealing details about requested records, or confirming whether records were provided. This applies specifically to subpoenas issued on or after September 1, 2025, and directly affects internet service providers and remote computing services that may receive such subpoenas. The bill aims to prevent interference with ongoing investigations by limiting public disclosure of subpoena details.
