The attorney general shall annually collect and compile information, statistical and otherwise, which will, as far as practicable, present an accurate survey and may be useful in the study of the effect legalizing industrial hemp has had on controlled substance and marijuana prosecutions in this state, including the extent and character of alleged crimes not prosecuted or dismissed, the operations of police in drug investigations, the charging discretion of prosecuting attorneys, and the administration of criminal justice due to the legalization of industrial hemp. All information collected under this section shall be reported annually to the Governor and Legislature by December first each year.
