Generally revise criminal procedure law
HB 890 aimed to enhance the data available in the Criminal Justice Data Warehouse by requiring specific state agencies to contribute criminal history information. The bill mandated the Department of Justice, Department of Corrections, and the Judicial Branch to collaborate by October 1, 2025, to determine the most efficient way to provide criminal history data for district court convictions to the warehouse. If no consensus was reached, the Department of Corrections would be responsible for providing this information, ensuring convicted offenders' names are linked to their criminal histories. The bill also included a $2,000 appropriation for each of these three agencies to facilitate their collaboration.
