Establish criminal justice data warehouse priorities

SB 6 establishes specific priorities for Montana's criminal justice data warehouse project, requiring the Board of Crime Control to coordinate with the Criminal Justice Oversight Council on data collection and system improvements. Key provisions include creating a unique identifier to link data across state/local agencies while protecting privacy, acquiring software for record management, expanding local data sharing, and documenting processes by September 2026. The bill directly affects state agencies (like the Department of Justice and judiciary), local criminal justice entities, and tribal/federal partners by mandating data contributions and collaboration. It appropriates $480,000 for software, $504,243 for staff positions, and $500,000 for judiciary data contributions, with all funds allocated for the 2025-2026 biennium.
