SB 420: State summary criminal history information: sentencing information.

Existing law requires the Department of Justice to maintain state summary criminal history information, including the identification and criminal history of any person, such as name, date of birth, physical description, fingerprints, photographs, dates of arrests, arresting agencies and booking numbers, charges, dispositions, and similar data about the person. Existing law specifies to whom and how the state summary criminal history information may be released and for what purposes it may be used. Existing law also specifies the type of information that may be provided to the various entities that can request state summary criminal history information.

This bill would include sentencing information in the state summary criminal history information record and would require that information to be provided, if present in the departments records at the time of the response, whenever state summary criminal history information is initially furnished to specified entities, including to authorized agencies and organizations for use for peace officer employment purposes.

This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 11105 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 1418 to be operative only if this bill and AB 1418 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
