What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to perform criminal investigations for crimes of statewide import and to provide information to all law enforcement officers within the state, to federal investigators, and to law enforcement agencies in other states. Current law requires DOJ to provide informational bulletins by mail or its telecommunications system.

This bill allows DOJ to create an additional informational network to provide information regarding known or suspected criminal activity, crime prevention, and missing or endangered persons to state agencies, law enforcement officers, and members of the private sector. Under the bill, DOJ may charge a fee to members of the private sector that opt to receive information from the network.
