Study of the criminal justice data warehouse

Montana's SJ 43 is a joint resolution requesting an interim study on the state's criminal justice data warehouse, established by 2023 legislation (SB 11). It directs the Criminal Justice Oversight Council to examine the warehouse's implementation progress, funding use, stakeholder input, and future goals, including reviewing $1.5 million in allocated funds. The study requires gathering perspectives from courts, law enforcement, tribal governments, and correctional facilities, with final findings due to the 70th Legislature by September 2026. This procedural resolution does not change laws but aims to ensure state funding aligns with legislative intent and project outcomes.
