New rules for internet and phone records

Beginning July 1, 2026, Idaho prosecutors and the attorney general can use an administrative subpoena to get non-content records from internet, phone, and cloud providers that do business in Idaho. The records can include a customer’s name and address, connection logs, session times, service start date and length, services used, device or phone numbers or other IDs (including temporary network addresses), and payment method and source. Providers must deliver the records within 14 days. The subpoena must say the records are relevant to a legitimate investigation under listed Idaho crimes, now including section 18-1507C. The law bars demands for message or file content and for records showing which websites or chat rooms someone visited. A court can limit an unusually burdensome request; providers are immune from civil suits for complying, and failure to comply can be punished as contempt. Other tools like warrants and court orders remain available.
