Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of justice (DOJ) is required to maintain a
toll-free telephone number for persons to provide information regarding suspected
violations of laws concerning controlled substances (dangerous drugs). This bill
requires DOJ to maintain a single toll-free telephone number both for information
regarding suspected controlled substances law violations and for persons to
anonymously provide information regarding dangerous weapons in public schools.
The bill also provides that on receiving any information regarding dangerous
weapons in a public school, DOJ is required to provide the information to the
administration of the public school and the appropriate law enforcement agency for
the municipality in which the public school is located.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
