THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 13023.5 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
   13023.5.  (a) The Alameda County District Attorney's Office and
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department may collect statistical
data on arrests or prosecutions involving private information
gathered from the Internet that was used in furtherance of a crime
within each participating entity's jurisdiction. The information may
be gathered in a manner that the participating entity deems
appropriate and may focus the statistical data on crimes the victim
of which is a minor.
   (b) If an entity in subdivision (a) collects the statistical data,
that entity shall publish the  statistical  information or
post the  statistical  information on the entity's Internet
Web site in two installments. The first installment shall be
published on or before July 1, 2013, and shall be comprised of all
information collected prior to that date. The second installment,
which shall be comprised of all information collected on or after
July 1, 2013, shall be published on or before January 1, 2014. 
   (c) For purposes of this section, "private information" means any
information that identifies or describes an individual, including,
but not limited to, his or her name, social security number, account
numbers, passwords, personal identification numbers, physical
description, physical location, home address, home telephone number,
education, financial matters, and medical or employment history.
Private information includes statements made by, or attributed to,
the individual.  
   (c) 
    (d)  This section shall remain in effect only until
January 1, 2015, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later
enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2015, deletes or
extends that date.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique need to establish a pilot program in the named
counties to determine, on a smaller scale, the efficacy of the
program and the usefulness of the data collected.
