I was under the impression that the House bill would change the status quo in one important respect: under Leon and similar cases, the "good faith" exception only applies when a judge or magistrate has issued a warrant which turns out not to be valid. Under the House bill, this erosion of the exclusionary rule is extended to warrantless searches (presumably including electronic searches) made in "good faith". Since knowledge of what the Constitution requires can destroy good faith, the changes likely to be made in police procedure manuals and curricula are left as an exercise for the reader.
