Bill > HB05116

This bill proposes to establish a task force to review and recommend improvements in how municipal police departments in the state collect, process, and share fingerprints. The task force will specifically focus on examining two key areas: (1) each municipal police department's current system for collecting and processing fingerprints, which is currently governed by section 29-17a of the general statutes and used for criminal history records checks or other non-criminal purposes, and (2) the methods currently used to share fingerprint information between different municipal police departments within the state. By creating this task force, the bill aims to identify potential inefficiencies or gaps in the existing fingerprint management processes and develop recommendations for enhancing these systems, ultimately seeking to improve the consistency and effectiveness of fingerprint collection and sharing across local law enforcement agencies.
