FLOOR SUMMARY
[Please see the PDF version of this analysis, if available, to view this image.]
Senate Bill 522 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Bruce Caswell
Committee: Appropriations
CONTENT
The bill would amend the Criminal Justice Information Systems Policy Act to require that the Department of State Police ensure access to criminal justice information systems by the Department of Human Services (DHS) necessary to implement a section of the Social Welfare Act proposed by House Bill 4721 (Section 10c). The proposed section would provide for a process by which the DHS could determine whether a recipient of public assistance was subject to an outstanding felony warrant or extradition warrant, and the Department of State Police would have access to address information of public assistance applicants or recipients.
The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 4721.
MCL 28.214
FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would require the Department of State Police, within its policies associated with criminal justice information system management, to take steps to ensure that the proposed provisions of House Bill 4721 were met. House Bill 4721 would require an automated system of meeting the bill's goals to be in place by July 1, 2013. While the methodology of meeting the bill's provisions is under discussion between the two departments, it is likely the Department of State Police would incur costs to reprogram its criminal justice information systems to comply with the requirement of the House bill. The amount cannot be determined at this time.
