Senate Bill 315 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a juvenile justice agency, in addition to a criminal justice agency, to compile information in the criminal combination and criminal street gang intelligence database and to authorize a juvenile justice agency to release database information to an attorney representing a child who is party to a proceeding under the Juvenile Justice Code.
Senate Bill 315 revises the composition of the Texas Violent Gang Task Force and clarifies its focus to form a strategic partnership among local, state, and federal criminal justice, juvenile justice, and corrections agencies.
