JUVENILE HISTORY RECORD INFORMATION S.B. 471 (S-3):
FLOOR SUMMARY
Senate Bill 471 (Substitute S-3 as reported)
Sponsor: Senator Roger Kahn, M.D.
CONTENT
The bill would amend the fingerprinting law to do the following:
-- Specify that a provision regarding dissemination of criminal history record information would not allow (rather than does not require) the release of nonpublic information or information legally prohibited from being disseminated.
-- Specify how juvenile history record information could be disseminated.
Under the law, all criminal history record information that is associated with a State identification number and is 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.
Under the bill, except as provided below, all juvenile history record information that was associated with a State identification number and was supported by biometric data could be disseminated in response only to a fingerprint-based search of the criminal history record information database. This provision would not allow the dissemination of juvenile history record information that was nonpublic or was prohibited by law from being disseminated.
All juvenile history record information that was associated with a State identification number and that was 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 have access to the Law Enforcement Information Network.
