ABOUT AB 2298 and SB 458
THIS COALITION GROWS OUT OF THE WORK OF THE PASS AB 2298 COALITION. IN 2017, ASSEMBLY BILL 2298 WAS SIGNED INTO LAW!!!
UNDER THE NEW LAW, AB2298 WILL: (1) Ensure people of all ages right to notification, right to challenge designation with the law enforcement agency, and right to appeal to Superior Court if they are added to a shared gang database (including but not limited to CalGang); and (2) Require the State of California to release data every year covering the numbers and demographics of people added or removed from shated gang databases. AB2298 built on another law we passed in 2012 – SB 458 – that gave these rights to youth under 18.
BUT WE HAVE TO FIGHT FURTHER TO MAKE SURE THESE LAWS ARE FOLLOWED. BASED ON BOTH OUR OWN EXPERIENCES AND THE STATE AUDIT THAT WE FOUGHT FOR – WE KNOW THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS NOT COMPLIED WITH SB 458.
