- People on platforms: Certain account details and content such as messages, photos, IP addresses, and location could be passed to the Attorney General when a provider learns of qualifying drug activity. Providers must generally preserve reported content for 90 days while investigations proceed and the bill forbids compelled decryption and routine user monitoring.
- Providers: Electronic communication and remote computing service providers would have to file reports within 60 days of acquiring qualifying knowledge and label discoveries as human or automated. Failure to report can trigger criminal fines up to $190,000 for an initial violation and civil penalties for knowingly false or incomplete reports.
- Attorney General and police: The Attorney General would review reports, forward credible ones to federal, state, or local agencies, and must publish an annual report with totals, provider breakdowns, conviction outcomes, and other metrics. The bill bars law enforcement from submitting reports or arranging third-party submissions and taints evidence from such prohibited filings.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Exemption for broadband and texting providers
When a provider is acting as a broadband internet access service or as a text messaging service, the new reporting and related rules would not apply. This would reduce compliance duties for companies in those roles.
New reporting duties for online platforms
This bill would require online communication and cloud providers to report certain drug and counterfeit‑pill crimes. Providers would need to report as soon as possible, and no later than 60 days, and say if a human or a tool found the issue. Reports would include reasonably available account details; providers could add timestamps, location, photos, messages, or full files. Filing a report would trigger a 90‑day data hold; the Attorney General could not extend it unless the AG has an active or pending investigation, though other agencies could still seek extensions. Providers would not have to monitor users or break end‑to‑end encryption and could share message contents with the Attorney General only in connection with a report. The Attorney General would review reports, share them when appropriate, limit data retention, and publish a public annual report within one year and then each year. Law enforcement could share report contents only for listed reasons, and officers could not seed reports themselves.
Fines for not reporting or false reports
Providers who knowingly fail to file a required report could face criminal fines up to $190,000 for a first offense and up to $380,000 for later ones. Providers who knowingly file a false report or omit required, reasonably available info could face civil fines of $50,000 to $100,000, on top of other penalties.
