Requires the state police superintendent to give the department of law (attorney general's office) direct, real-time access to the criminal gun clearinghouse database of seized and crime-related guns, increasing the attorney general's ability to use gun trace and seizure data in civil investigations
The superintendent shall provide the department of law with direct, real-time access to the criminal gun clearinghouse.
Authorizes the attorney general to investigate and bring civil actions against public elementary, secondary, and charter schools for repeated or persistent discrimination based on gender expression or gender identity, expanding the AG's enforcement role in protecting against such discrimination in K
discrimination based on a person's actual or perceived race, color, weight, national origin, citizenship or immigration status, ethnic group, religion or creed, religious practice, disability, sexual orientation, gender expression or gender identity, sex, marital status, familial status, pregnancy, or status as a victim of domestic violence, sex offenses, or stalking, by any covered entity. For the purposes of this section, "covered entity" shall include all public elementary or secondary schools, school districts, and charter schools
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill makes two substantive changes within the tracked topics: (1) it mandates real-time AG access to the criminal gun clearinghouse (a database of seized and crime-linked firearms), which expands law-enforcement and civil-investigative use of gun-trace data and therefore restricts the firearms axis; (2) it expressly adds "gender expression or gender identity" to the list of protected characteristics for which the attorney general may sue public K-12 schools for repeated or persistent discrimination, which expands the transgender axis in the education setting. No provisions address abortion
