S.B. 13 Statutorily Required Reports and Presentations Amendments: transcript

I have to, I have to apologize. Are we on SB 13 or are we on 30?

Thank you Mr. Chair for the opportunity to present thank you to the committee members for allowing an, an old friend into your quorum. And, and, uh, I'll be brief. Um, this is, this is of course was an in interim bill and a committee bill. Um, so you'll recognize it certainly. But, uh, um, this is possibly, I've already had the envy of other committees saying, Hey, we should do that. Will you do it? Will you put this in your bill? And I'm like, no, you do. You clean up your own committee. That's right. Um, so, uh, just remove certain reporting requirements in the law enforcement and criminal justice interim committee. These committees had a significant number of required reports assigned, but hasn't received many of them over multiple years. The committee of staff, uh, uh, thoroughly reviewed all those committees, required reports, determine which one should be re, re removed and what were relevant expired due dates and redundancy. And that's what this bill does, is remove those. Now, to make something perfectly clear, the committee still retains multiple relevant reports and statute and, uh, in case you are concerned about some of that data not being reported to the committee, um, are good chair, um, had sponsored a bill HB two 20. That was the public safety data portal, which I think is a game changer in law enforcement as far as sharing of data and information. That information will still be fed or will be fed rather, I should say, still will be fed into that portal. So with that chair, I will, uh, end my presentation.

Thank you. I'll turn to the committee for clarifying questions if there are any.

Representative Peterson. Thank you Mr. Chair. I'd make a motion. Lemme pass out with favorable recommendation. Senate Bill 13. Um, I need a substitute amendment it looks like on Amendment one. Oh, we have An amendment. Yes. Take a look at, well then I would draw that motion and I would make a motion that we amend Senator, I apologize. 13 with amendment. I forgot

Uh, no. I think it's pretty clear.

Yeah, can you give me just one quick second? Yeah. So, and um, this was brought to me, uh, just, just recently, but, uh, in, in talking with the drafting attorney and, and several other sources, we recognize that there's, there's a master list that nobody uses and we're having to feed this master list. Um, and, and it's just basically redundant. Um, we, we deal with it in other ways. The, the, the bodies that reference it, um, uh, don't actually use it. They're still having to feed this master list. So we're, the language is just to, uh, correct that so that we don't have that redundancy within law enforcement reporting agencies. And it's as simple as that. Just, just cleaning up that portion. Okay. That's my understanding. Thank you.

Uh, Representative Peterson, I make a motion. Lemme pass out with a favorable recommendation Senate bill 13

Yeah, I think, uh, just to clarify some parts of the code. And so I appreciate the sponsor's work on it. Thank you. It is a, uh, minor inefficiency, but it is an efficiency and it's important that we seek to do that where we can.

Thanks Mr. President. Um, in an effort to try to be more, uh, streamlined and more proficient in our job. Um, as an interim committee, we were overwhelmed with the amount of reporting requirements that, um, we had in our committee. And, and in reviewing those we realized many of these reports were simply weren't happening and many of them were just, um, not necessary. Um, and given that we had passed HB two 20, which was the public safety data portal, um, much of the reporting that was required in committee, um, would be much more efficient simply if they were put into the portal. So in an effort to clean up the amount of reports that come have to come to the committee, we dressed down a bunch of those and move them over or will move them over into the public safety data report. We eliminated some of 'em and some of 'em we will continue to receive. That's what this bill does. I'm open to questions.

Senate bill 13 statutory required reports and presentations amendments by Senator Musselman. This bill was heard in law enforcement and criminal justice with the vote of 7 0 4. The House sponsors Representative Wilcox,

Thank you. The functional part of this one, uh, and also a, a interim bill is to make sure that, um, the sentencing commission also sends in, uh, two, uh, the public safety data portal. In other words, to all of us, the public, everyone, um, their annual collection of, uh, offenses that we've increased and decreased and, and everything that we've actually done, hopefully to end up where we all understand, uh, the impact of the decisions that we've made. Uh, make it easier for policy, make policy makers across every jurisdiction. It also handles, um, a few other small, uh, changes for their work. But that's the sum of the bill. Thank you.

Um, just a coordination clause between this bill and another bill that doesn't do anything of substance.
