Summary

The bill changes California law so that every law‑enforcement gang database – not just those shared between agencies – must follow new rules. It requires agencies to notify people (and parents of minors) when they are labeled as gang members, lets them request and contest that label in court, and creates a technical advisory committee to write detailed regulations. It also orders a purge of unsupported entries and a temporary halt on adding new data until the purge is certified.
