Current law requires the Department of Justice to collect information from law
enforcement agencies and others concerning the number and nature of offenses
known to have been committed in this state. This bill adds that DOJ must collect
from law enforcement agencies, district attorneys, and courts specific information on
crimes committed with a firearm, the manufacture, distribution, or delivery of
marijuana, and the theft of motor vehicles. The information collected must include
the number of arrests, any recommendations made to the district attorney, all
charges filed, any charges dropped, and any penalty imposed for these specific
crimes. This bill also requires DOJ to compile the information quarterly and make
it public.
