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