	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1075, as introduced, Runner. Department of Justice: crime
statistics reporting.
   Existing law requires the Department of Justice to present a
report to the Governor annually containing the statewide criminal
statistics of the preceding year. Existing law also requires
specified local agencies, including chiefs of police and sheriffs, to
report statistical data to the department at the time and in the
manner the department prescribes.
   This bill would require that report to include statistics on child
molestation, as defined, in the same format and within the same
tables that report on the number, rate per 100,000 population, and
percentage change in other violent crimes, including rape.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
