Assembly Bill 958 proposes the addition of four full-time positions within the Department of Justice specifically focused on combating Internet crimes against children. The bill authorizes the creation of two Internet crimes against children criminal analyst positions, one outreach specialist position, and one digital evidence examiner position. These positions will be funded through the existing appropriation under section 20.455 (2) (a) of the state budget.

The bill aims to enhance the state's capacity to address and investigate Internet-related offenses against children by increasing the workforce dedicated to this critical area. By adding these positions, the Department of Justice seeks to improve its outreach, analysis, and evidence examination capabilities, thereby strengthening its overall response to Internet crimes targeting children.
