include, access to confidential or sensitive information. The bill
would allow the State Chief Information Officer to furnish those
images and that information to the Department of Justice for the
purpose of obtaining information relating to criminal convictions or
the existence and content of a record of arrest, as specified. The
bill would require the State Chief Information Officer to request
subsequent arrest notifications, as specified, and would authorize
the Department of Justice to assess a fee sufficient to cover the
processing costs imposed by these provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
