1995 - 1996 LEGISLATURE

1995 Assembly BILL 112

February 8, 1995 - Introduced by Representatives Krusick, Goetsch, Ainsworth, Grobschmidt, Klusman, La Fave, Lehman, Ott and Schneiders, cosponsored by Senator Burke. Referred to Committee on Criminal Justice and Corrections.

AB112,1,3 An Act to repeal 165.83 (2) (a) 3.; and to amend 165.83 (2) (a) 2. of the statutes; relating to: obtaining fingerprints and other information from persons who are arrested or taken into custody.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, local law enforcement agencies must obtain fingerprints and other identifying data regarding persons who have been arrested or taken into custody for any felony or for specified misdemeanors or ordinance violations. The agencies must shortly thereafter forward the fingerprints and other data to the department of justice, which files the information and makes it available for various purposes. This bill expands the coverage of these requirements to include any misdemeanor prohibited under the criminal code, controlled substances act or public assistance laws.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
