Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that parties to an electronic communication intercepted contrary to the Eavesdropping Article of the Code are entitled to the civil remedies prescribed in that Article. Provides that a civil claim, cause of action, or remedy on behalf of a minor shall not lie against a parent, step-parent, guardian, or grandparent for eavesdropping of electronic communications taken during that parent, step-parent, guardian, or grandparent's exercise of his or her parental rights to supervise, monitor, and control the activities of a minor in his or her care, custody, or control.
