HB 1096 Juveniles; fingerprints and photographs required if charged with certain delinquent acts.

Introduced by: Brian J. Moran | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Juvenile fingerprints and photographs. Mandates the taking of fingerprints and photographs of any juvenile who is taken into custody and charged with a delinquent act if the charge is one that has to be reported to the Central Criminal Records Exchange for an adult arrest (all felonies and most Class 1 and 2 misdemeanors except DUI, trespass and disorderly conduct). Under current law this procedure is mandatory only for juveniles 14 years of age or older who are charged with certain crimes classified as violent juvenile felonies. If the juvenile is found not guilty, the fingerprints and photographs are destroyed unless the charge was for a violent juvenile felony, in which case they are maintained in the Central Criminal Records Exchange and the juvenile court.
