Peace officers: local agencies: report: Attorney General.

Existing law requires each state and local agency that employs peace officers annually to report to the Attorney General data on all stops conducted by that agency's peace officers for the preceding calendar year, as specified. Existing law requires the data reported to be available to the public, except as specified. This bill would require the Attorney General, on or before January 1, 2022, to establish and maintain an internet website for the purpose of making the data annually provided to it by law enforcement agencies described above available to the public free of charge. The bill would require a law enforcement agency that is required to provide data to the Attorney General to, within 30 days after creation of the internet website, upload any data it submitted to the Attorney General pursuant to these provisions before January 1, 2021, to the internet website established and maintained by the Attorney General. The bill would also require a law enforcement agency that is required to provide data to the Attorney General, on or before May 1, 2022, and on or before May 1st of each subsequent year, to provide the data by uploading it to the internet website established and maintained by the Attorney General. Because the bill would require local agencies to perform additional duties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would authorize the Attorney General to issue regulations governing submission of data by law enforcement agencies pursuant to these provisions. The bill would also specify that notwithstanding any other law, maintenance of the internet website shall satisfy the requirement that the Attorney General make all data and reports it receives pursuant to these provisions open to public inspection. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
