Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates an Internet crimes against children surcharge. Under the bill,
if a court imposes a sentence on a person or places a person on probation for
committing a crime, the court imposes a surcharge of $20 for each misdemeanor
conviction and $40 for each felony conviction. Under the bill, the Department of
Justice uses the moneys received from the surcharge to fund the activities of task
forces on Internet crimes against children, and to fund criminal investigations, law
enforcement, and prosecutions relating to Internet crimes against children.
The bill also authorizes the attorney general or his or her designee to issue an
administrative subpoena to a provider of an electronic communication service or
remote computing service that would compel the provider to produce documents or
records helpful to an investigation of an Internet crime against a child. The bill
allows the person issued the subpoena to motion a circuit court to limit or quash the
subpoena and allows the attorney general or his or her designee to request that the
subpoena be kept confidential until after all requested documents and records are
produced.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
