Public safety data reporting requirements across several state agencies would be reorganized to funnel through a central public safety data portal managed by the State Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice. Currently, various reports — including data on attempted firearm purchases by people barred due to domestic violence convictions, sexual assaults in prisons and juvenile detention facilities, sexual assault kit processing, and the multi-agency strike force's annual activities — go to the Legislature's Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee; this bill would redirect those reports to the commission's portal instead, in some cases removing the separate legislative committee report entirely. The bill would also add new reporting obligations, requiring colleges and universities to submit student housing crime data, the Board of Pardons and Parole to submit offender metrics, and the Prosecutor Conduct Commission to submit its complaint data, all to be included in the portal, while directing the commission to build a public, de-identified searchable version of the data. Finally, the bill would clarify that the commission does not have to fulfill public records requests for the raw data it receives for the portal, instead requiring it to tell requesters which original agency holds the records they're seeking.
