Section 1912.

The Department of the Youth Authority shall, as resources are available, conduct an assessment of the feasibility and costs of developing and implementing a statewide juvenile information system, to include information on the offenses, characteristics, and dispositions of individual youths from referral to probation through discharge from the Department of the Youth Authority and for a period of time after discharge. This system shall be designed to ensure that the Department of the Youth Authority receives the information needed for each person committed to it, in order to plan properly for his or her program of training and treatment. This system shall also be designed to permit the Department of the Youth Authority to obtain information on subsequent offenses and other characteristics after release from Youth Authority institutions and after discharge from parole, for use in evaluating the department's programs.
