Sec. 1. (a) A court may not authorize interception under a warrant or an extension for a period longer than is necessary to achieve the objective of the warrant or extension. Except as provided in subsection (d), a warrant and each extension may authorize interception for not more than thirty (30) days. A court that issues a warrant or an extension shall order that the authorized interception must:

(1) occur within ten (10) days after the court issues the warrant or extension;

(2) be conducted in a manner that minimizes the interception of a communication that is clearly irrelevant to the investigation of a designated offense; and

(3) terminate upon completion of the authorized objective or within thirty (30) days after the interception begins, whichever occurs first.

(b) A court may grant not more than three (3) extensions.

(c) A warrant or an extension may direct that a person immediately furnish an applicant all information, facilities, and technical assistance within that person's control necessary to accomplish the interception with a minimum of interference with the services that the person is furnishing to the person whose communication is to be intercepted. The applicant shall compensate a person furnishing facilities or technical assistance to the applicant at the prevailing rates.

(d) A warrant issued under IC 35-33.5-2-3.5 expires after twenty-four (24) hours, unless:

(1) the court that issued the warrant established a shorter period of expiration; or

(2) the warrant is extended in accordance with section 2 of this chapter.

A warrant extended in accordance with section 2 of this chapter expires as described in subsection (a).
