The United States Constitution provides that it and other federal laws are the supreme law of the land. The 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution sets forth the right against unreasonable searches and seizures by the federal government and prohibits a federal warrant from being issued unless there is probable cause, supported by an oath or affirmation, that particularly describes the place to be searched, and the person or thing to be seized.
This bill would enact the 4th Amendment Protection Act and prohibit the state from providing material support, participation, or assistance in response to a request from a federal agency or an employee of a federal agency to collect electronically stored information or metadata of any person if the state has actual knowledge that the request constitutes an illegal or unconstitutional collection
of electronically stored information or metadata.
