This section amends wiretap application requirements under 18 U.S.C. §2518(1) by adding paragraph (g), requiring a statement affirming that the applicant will not use intercepted wire, oral, or electronic communications—including those with reproductive or sexual health information—to initiate or conduct investigations or proceedings against persons inquiring about, seeking, obtaining, providing, or facilitating reproductive or sexual health treatment or care. It further amends wiretap order requirements under §2518(4) by adding paragraph (f) with the same prohibition; defines "reproductive or sexual health information" in new §2518(13) to include information on abortions, in vitro fertilization, contraceptives, medication abortion, pregnancy-related conditions, sexual activity, and related services; and amends compelled disclosure requirements for customer communications or records under 18 U.S.C. §2703 by adding subsection (i), requiring government entities to provide an oath-stating they will not use such communications—including reproductive or sexual health information—for investigations or proceedings against persons involved in reproductive or sexual health treatment or care. (Thus, these changes restrict federal law enforcement use of court-authorized surveillance and stored communication data in reproductive and sexual health matters.)
