The bill, S.B. No. 2201, amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to enhance the criteria for collecting and maintaining intelligence databases related to criminal street gangs and foreign terrorist organizations. Key changes include the addition of new criteria for what constitutes relevant criminal information, such as self-admissions of membership that can be demonstrated through various means, including online activity. The bill also specifies that if a law enforcement officer has reasonable suspicion that an individual meets the criteria for inclusion in the intelligence database, the officer's name and department must be recorded alongside the individual's information.

Additionally, the bill modifies the timeframes for the removal of information from the intelligence databases. Information related to adults must be removed after five years, while information concerning minors must be removed after two years, provided certain conditions are met. The bill also repeals several existing provisions that are deemed redundant or unnecessary. The changes are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
