California Criminal Gang Register.

The California Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention Act makes it unlawful to engage in criminal gang activity, including actively participating in any criminal street gang with knowledge that its members engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity, and willfully promoting, furthering, or assisting in any felonious criminal conduct by members of the gang. Existing law requires the Department of Justice to maintain the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) , a statewide telecommunications system of communication for the use of law enforcement agencies. This bill would require the Department of Justice, no later than July 30, 2013, to establish a California Criminal Gang Register. The bill would require the register to include, among other things, the name, date of birth, and if, applicable, prison identification number of every person convicted of a violation of the California Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention Act, and a breakdown of persons convicted of violating the act by county of conviction. The bill would require the register to be made available through CLETS to law enforcement agencies and to personnel who are authorized to access CLETS.
