§3. Gang reporting requirement
This section establishes in 28 U.S.C. §530E an annual reporting requirement on gang activity, reporting, investigation, and prosecution, requiring the Attorney General—in conjunction with the Secretary of Homeland Security and FBI Director, and coordinating with state and local law enforcement—to submit reports to the Senate and House Judiciary and Appropriations Committees, with the first due not later than 150 days after enactment and subsequent reports due by the last day of each fiscal year thereafter. The report must include (1) numerical data on local, national, and transnational gang growth over the prior 10 fiscal years, including trends in membership, location, activities, and enterprises, with state and local data; (2) gangs' tools, methods, and networks for crimes, including cooperation and crime types; (3) state-based reporting issues affecting federal data; (4) DOJ, DHS, and FBI initiatives over the prior 5 fiscal years to track, investigate, and prosecute gangs, including start/end dates and reasons for endings; (5) federal resources allocated by those agencies to gang-related efforts; (6) prior fiscal year's gang enforcement statistics, including arrests (compared to prior 5 fiscal years), juvenile arrests, firearms seized (including from juveniles), and weights of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other synthetic opioids seized (including from juveniles); (7) agency data collection procedures; and (8) changes to those procedures in the prior 18 months, with explanations. The report or portions thereof may be classified as appropriate. This section also makes a conforming amendment to the table of sections for 28 U.S.C. ch. 31.
