The current version of Section 702 expired on Dec. 31, 2017, and it was extended to permit time for new legislation to pass. This Law reauthorized it, with certain key amendments, which are noted below.
An order is not required, however, if the FBI determines that there is a reasonable belief that the contents would assist in mitigating or eliminating a threat to life or serious bodily harm. This concept is further defined … unless an order is obtained or the Attorney General determines that:

▶ the criminal proceeding involves:
▶ death;
▶ kidnapping;
▶ serious bodily injury, as defined in section 1365 of title 18, United States Code;
▶ conduct that constitutes a criminal offense that is a specified offense against a minor, as defined in section 111 of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 (34 U.S.C. 20911);
▶ incapacitation or destruction of critical infrastructure, as defined in section 1016(e) of the USA PATRIOT Act (42 U.S.C. 5195c(e));
