Summary

(1) Existing law requires, when requested by the Attorney General, that every person or agency dealing with crimes or criminals maintain the records necessary to report statistical data, and report statistical data to the Department of Justice and the Attorney General. Existing law requires the Attorney General, subject to the availability of adequate funding, to direct local law enforcement agencies to report to the Department of Justice information related to hate crimes, and to update the OpenJustice Web portal with the information obtained from local law enforcement agencies. Existing law authorizes the State Department of Public Health to establish and maintain the California Electronic Violent Death Reporting System (CEVDRS) , to collect data on violent deaths, as defined. This bill would require the Attorney General to direct local law enforcement agencies to report quarterly, by January 1, 2021, to the Department of Justice data, on the sexual orientation and gender identity of a victim of a violent death. The bill would require the Attorney General to convene, by July 1, 2020, a stakeholder workgroup, including staff who administer the CEVDRS, local law enforcement agencies, and advocates for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, to develop specified standards, such as data reporting requirements and forms, and would authorize the Department of Justice to use established policies and practices on reports on hate crimes. The bill would require the Department of Justice to update annually, by July 1, 2022, and each July 1 thereafter, the OpenJustice Web portal with the information obtained from local law enforcement agencies, to collaborate with the State Department of Public Health to collect and maintain the quarterly reported data in the CEVDRS, and to analyze the data and quarterly reports with the State Department of Public Health. By imposing additional reporting duties on local law enforcement agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) This bill would make findings and declarations regarding the importance of improving the collection of statewide data on violent deaths of members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. (3) 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.
