HI HB2749

Requires county prosecuting attorney offices to collect and maintain for 10 years detailed data on criminal cases including defendant demographics (race, gender, disability status), charges, diversion offers, bail recommendations, plea terms, and fines imposed.

Mandates prosecuting attorney offices publish all office policies covering charging decisions, bail, sentencing, plea bargains, discovery practices, diversion, hiring/discipline, victim services, and practices involving vulnerable populations.

Requires anonymized attorney demographic data (age, gender, race, hire date, title, discipline history) be collected and published for all prosecuting attorney office employees.

Directs the criminal justice research institute by January 1, 2023 to establish uniform data transmission standards and implementation schedules, then publish data online by May 1 annually and produce annual compliance reports plus issue-specific analyses on prosecutorial practices and racial disparities.

Withholds state funding from prosecuting attorney offices found non-compliant with transparency requirements until they achieve full compliance and provide retroactive data; establishes a prosecutorial transparency advisory board with public defenders and individuals with prosecution experience to advise on implementation.
