AR HB1322

Restricts juvenile fingerprinting to cases where a juvenile is arrested for Class Y, Class A, or Class B felonies, or Class A misdemeanors involving violence or weapons.

Requires that for delinquency allegations, juveniles cannot be fingerprinted unless they have been taken into custody for offenses that would qualify as those listed above if committed by an adult.

Directs the Administrative Office of the Courts to provide delinquency adjudication records to the Arkansas Crime Information Center only for offenses for which juvenile fingerprints shall be taken under the amended law.

Requires law enforcement agencies to return all fingerprints and photographs if a juvenile is found not to have committed the alleged delinquent act, with the arrest record marked accordingly.

Mandates removal of arrest records from the Arkansas Crime Information Center when a juvenile is arrested for Class Y, Class A, or Class B felonies but not charged, upon submission by the prosecuting attorney.
