Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Yearly justice data reports and proposals

By May 1 each year, the Commission sends a written report to the Governor and the Legislature’s Speaker. The report lists activities, plans, costs, and interagency agreements for the justice data system. The Commission may also propose new laws needed to run and improve the system.

Justice data commission members and rules

The Chief Justice (or designee) and the Executive Branch Chief Technology Officer co-chair the Commission. Heads of key Guam agencies serve as members, or they may name a representative. If an agency has a law-enforcement unit, the designee must come from that unit. The Commission meets at least once each calendar year, and the co-chairs may call more meetings. Members do not get paid for Commission duties.

New commission runs criminal justice data

The law creates the Criminal Justice Automation Commission to run Guam’s justice data system. It defines the data the system holds, like criminal history, biometrics, DMV, and firearms records. The Commission sets rules for data accuracy, interoperability, regular tech updates, and strong cybersecurity. It must also set privacy and civil liberties policies for data sharing and retention. Any changes to apps, databases, platforms, or business processes that affect the network must be coordinated through and approved by the Commission. The Commission has broad authority to carry out these duties.
