Relating to intelligence databases for combinations, criminal street gangs, and foreign terrorist organizations.
HB 1274 requires Texas law enforcement to notify individuals within 60 days if their information is added to the state's intelligence database for gang or terrorist organization links. It mandates clear dispute procedures for challenging database inclusions and outlines steps to remove information after renouncing gang membership. The bill also prohibits using this database data to deny employment, licenses, or constitutional rights, and requires annual audits to remove data not supported by evidence after 10 years, with racial/ethnic data reporting.
