What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.

Electronic mail service of decisions by the Division of Hearings and Appeals

Under current law, decisions made by the Division of Hearings and Appeals

may be served by personal delivery or by mailing a copy to each party to the

proceedings or to the party's attorney. This bill provides that such a decision may also

be served by e-mail with the parties consent.
