Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Administration maintains automated
justice information systems that are compatible among counties and agencies. DOA
also maintains a case management system that allows district attorneys to manage
and share all case-related information; DOA must provide access to this system to
the Department of Justice. This bill requires that DOA maintain an index system
for discovery that allows district attorneys and public defenders to manage and
organize all discovery-related information.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
