A SUMMARY OF SENATE BILL 471 AS PASSED BY THE SENATE 10-9-13

The bill would prescribe how juvenile history record information could be disseminated and revise a provision regarding the dissemination of information for adult offenders.

Senate Bill 471 would amend the Fingerprinting Act (MCL 28.242a) to specify that, except as provided below, all juvenile history record information associated with a state identification number and supported by biometric data could be disseminated in response only to a fingerprint-based search of the criminal history record information database. 

All juvenile history record information associated with a state identification number and supported by biometric data could be disseminated in response to either a name-based or a fingerprint based search of the criminal history record information database solely to a person or entity authorized to access the law enforcement information network (LEIN).  Neither of these provisions would allow the dissemination of record information that is nonpublic or is prohibited by law from being disseminated.

In addition, current law states that all criminal history record information that is associated with a state identification number and supported by biometric data must be disseminated in response to a fingerprint-based or name-based search of the criminal history record information database.  The law states that this provision does not require the dissemination of criminal history record information that is nonpublic or is prohibited by law from being disseminated.  The bill instead specifies that the provision would not allow the dissemination of criminal history record information that was nonpublic or was prohibited by law from being disseminated.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The bill would have no fiscal impact on the Department of State Police.
