What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Fingerprint records of individuals arrested or taken into custody Under current law, the Department of Justice is required to return the fingerprint record of any person who is arrested or taken into custody and subsequently released without charges being filed or cleared of the offense through a court proceeding. This bill provides that under such a circumstance, the fingerprint record must be removed from the department's records upon request.
This change reflects the change in DOJ practice from using paper fingerprint cards to an electronic fingerprinting system.
