SB 957: Civil detention facilities.

What SB 957 does, verified August 25, 2026

The bill requires social media companies to notify individuals when their personal information is requested by an administrative subpoena. Social media companies cannot respond to the subpoena until the individual has a chance to respond or challenge it. The company also cannot respond if the subpoena is invalid, such as being overly broad or unduly burdensome. The attorney general and individuals can bring an action for injunctive or declaratory relief if the social media company fails to comply. The provisions are declared severable, meaning they can still be enforced if part of the bill is found to be unconstitutional.
