Recently, Governor Kemp signed the Criminal Record Responsibility Act (CRRA). In addition to improving communication protocols within the judiciary, the new law will enhance the safety of innocent victims and community members alike. The new “Criminal Case Data Exchange Board” will provide a central platform to determine and oversee statewide electronic reporting processes.
In addition, the Criminal Case Data Exchange Board will provide a hub for criminal data entry into the Georgia Criminal Information Center (GCIC) for law enforcement, judicial officials, and victim notifications.
“When communication breakdowns exist between law enforcement, crime victims, prosecutors, judges, and potential employers, then justice cannot be effectively served, and we commend all who worked to pass this bill and improve this reporting system."
-Governor Brian Kemp
