Bill Summary
This bill adds to the categories of uniform crime reports that all law enforcement agencies are required to submit to the Department of Public Safety, Bureau of State Police, State Bureau of Identification to require the reporting of the number of mental health referrals made pursuant to the extreme risk protection order statutes and the number of individuals who received services pursuant to those referrals.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing state law to require law enforcement agencies to include additional mental health-related data in their uniform crime reports submitted to the State Bureau of Identification. Specifically, the bill mandates that these reports now include a new category tracking mental health referrals made under extreme risk protection order statutes, with agencies required to report both the total number of referrals made and the number of individuals who actually received services following those referrals. The new reporting requirement is part of broader efforts to enhance data collection and tracking of mental health interventions within the criminal justice system, providing more comprehensive information about how mental health issues are addressed during law enforcement interactions. By adding this category to uniform crime reports, the bill aims to create more transparency and potentially help policymakers better understand the intersection of mental health and public safety.
