MN SF2108

Expands fingerprinting requirements for law enforcement to include persons currently involved in the criminal justice system, on probation, on parole, or in custody for any offense (previously limited to specific offenses in suspense).

Requires fingerprints be taken during post-arrest interviews, court appearances, while in custody, or while on probation, diversion, or supervised release to help eliminate suspense records.

Mandates fingerprints be submitted to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension prior to acceptance of a guilty or not guilty plea, with courts authorized to hold individuals in custody up to eight hours for fingerprint completion.

Requires fingerprint records be forwarded to the bureau within 24 hours unless superintendent requires shorter period, submitted on forms prescribed by the superintendent.

Amends Minnesota Statutes 2011 Supplement, section 299C.10, subdivision 1, to expand law enforcement fingerprinting authority and improve criminal history file accuracy.
