What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Administration maintains automated

justice information systems that are compatible among counties and agencies. DOA

also maintains a case management system that allows district attorneys to manage

and share all case-related information; DOA must provide access to this system to

the Department of Justice. This bill requires that DOA maintain an index system

for discovery that allows district attorneys and public defenders to manage and

organize all discovery-related information.
