This bill requires each county prosecutor to provide to the Attorney General data pertaining to criminal complaints concerning crimes, or in the case of a juvenile, an act which if committed by an adult would constitute a crime, involving the use of a firearm that did not result in bodily injury. In addition, the bill requires each county prosecutor to report this data to the Attorney General every quarter for three years in a manner prescribed by the Attorney General.
