Bill > SB2462

This bill requires district attorneys general, who are elected officials responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in their judicial districts, to provide more detailed annual reports to the governor, legislative leaders, relevant legislative committees, and the public, including the number of indictments filed, cases transferred for temporary prosecution, and various case dispositions like dismissals, pretrial diversions, plea agreements, trial outcomes, and sentences imposed, all categorized by offense and presented as aggregate, non-personally identifiable information. Additionally, the bill mandates that clerks of courts handling misdemeanor and felony cases must grant district attorneys general and the district attorneys general conference (a statewide organization of district attorneys general) direct and unlimited access to their case management or reporting systems to facilitate the collection, analysis, and reporting of this data, ensuring clerks cooperate and provide all requested information.
