Requires law enforcement agencies to capture and submit fingerprints of offenders subject to an immigration detainer and requires the state criminal justice information program to collect, process, store, maintain, and disseminate immigration detainer records, so more state cooperation with federal
A law enforcement agency shall capture and electronically submit to the department in the manner prescribed by rule the fingerprints of a qualifying offender, as defined in s. 943.325(2), who is in its custody and subject to an immigration detainer.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates s. 943.0536 requiring the Department of Law Enforcement's Criminal Justice Information Program to collect, process, store, maintain, and disseminate immigration detainer information and mandating that law enforcement agencies submit fingerprints of persons in custody subject to such detainers (expanding state-federal cooperation). It also amends s. 943.0581 to allow administrative expunction of immigration detainer records made contrary to law or by mistake (a limited restriction on retention of such records). No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
