What’s in it
AI summary Native American tribes can now work with the department of public safety to share criminal and juvenile justice information. To do this, the tribe must sign an agreement that allows the state to use and share their data. This change lets these tribes access records about arrests, convictions, and other legal history.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to criminal history and intelligence data. The bill provides that a “criminal or juvenile justice agency” includes a federally recognized Indian tribe which has entered into a written agreement with the department of public safety irrevocably waiving any tribal sovereign immunity related to the dissemination or use of criminal history data obtained because of that written agreement, which performs as its principal function the apprehension, prosecution, adjudication, incarceration, or rehabilitation of criminal or juvenile offenders. Under current law, the department of public safety may provide copies or communicate information from criminal history data to a criminal or juvenile justice agency. Criminal history data includes data concerning arrests, convictions, dispositions, corrections, adjudications, and custody.
