Generally revise criminal procedure law
This bill (LC 3453) requires Montana's Department of Justice, Department of Corrections, and Judicial Branch to collaborate by October 1, 2025, to determine the most efficient method for providing criminal history data of district court offenders (from the past five fiscal years and all future convictions) to the state's Criminal Justice Data Warehouse. If the agencies cannot reach agreement, the Department of Corrections must provide this data directly. The bill amends Section 44-7-126, MCA, to clarify data-sharing responsibilities, ensure offender names are linked to their records, and allocates $2,000 to each agency for the collaboration effort. It directly affects state criminal justice agencies and the centralized data system used for policy and operational decisions.
