Committee hears criminal-enterprise database bill with added annual reporting requirement
Summary
Representative introduced a bill to create a criminal-enterprise database; the sponsor said the Senate added reporting language requiring an annual report and specified recipients for transparency. The committee approved a motion to report the bill by voice vote.
Representative Betzil told the Public Safety and Homeland Security committee that the House version of a bill to create a criminal-enterprise database is identical to the Senate version and that the Senate added reporting requirements intended to improve transparency.
"This actually some language was added and agreed upon in the senate to add in some reporting, that is required, by the secretary of Aliyah annually, and it spells out who that report should be provided to, just as an effort to provide safeguards to ensure demographics and things like that are, reported in transparency," Representative Betzil said.
During discussion no members raised substantive objections on the record. The chair entertained a motion "to pay a report for the streamers." A second was given, and the committee approved the motion by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye. All opposed the same." The transcript does not record the names of the motion mover or seconder.
The sponsor described the reporting addition as an "enhancement and upgrade to this statute." The transcript does not provide the bill number in full text or the exact statutory citations; the item was discussed as a House bill that matches the Senate language with the added annual reporting requirement.
