Indeed, the FCC was compelled to extend the compliance date of the law by almost two years, until June 30, 2000. I want to hear what Assistant Attorney General Robinson is doing about this situation. For example, my bill would require a probable-cause court order before the FBI is authorized to use a cellular phone as a tracking device. This bill contains a number of other reasonable provisions designed to restore and protect our privacy rights in our phone, fax and computer communications. Senior Safety Act, S. 751 .
Seniors are the most rapidly growing sector of our society.
It is an ugly fact that crimes against seniors are a significant problem. To address the unyielding rate of crimes against seniors, in March I introduced S.751, the Seniors Safety Act, to provide a new safety net of laws to combat these crimes. I know that the Administration has been working on its own legislative proposals in this area, including provisions to allow the use of administrative subpoenas for access to health records for fraud investigations. My legislation would authorize the use of such subpoenas but under circumstances that would protect against the further disclosure of personally identifiable health records. The Administration's draft proposal does not have any such protections included.
