FINGERPRINTING FEES - S.B. 927 (S-1) & 928 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS

Senate Bill 927 (Substitute S-1 as reported)

Senate Bill 928 (Substitute S-1 as reported)

Sponsor: Senator Philip E. Hoffman

Committee: Appropriations


CONTENT


Senate Bill 927 (S-1) would amend Public Act 213 of 1965 (which provides for setting aside certain convictions) to increase in statute from $25 to $50 the fee required to be submitted to the Department of State Police for an application to set aside a conviction. (Under Executive Order 2001-9, the fee is $30 for FY 2001-02.) The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 425 (which would amend the Private Security Business and Security Alarm Act).


Senate Bill 928 (S-1) would amend Public Act 120 of 1935 (which provides for fingerprinting State residents) to increase in statute from $15 to $30 the fee that the Department of State Police may charge for taking and processing fingerprints and completing a criminal record check for employment or licensing-related purposes. (Under Executive Order 2001-9, the fee is $30 for FY 2001-02.) The bill also would prohibit a fee from being collected under this section if a fee for taking and processing fingerprints is provided for under any other law. The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 425.


MCL 780.621 (S.B. 927)

MCL 28.273 (S.B. 928)


FISCAL IMPACT


Senate Bill 927 (S-1) would generate approximately $25,000 to cover Department costs involved in adjusting records to reflect a set-aside conviction. Senate Bill 928 (S-1) would generate approximately $1.8 million in increased fee revenue, which would be used to support operations of the Department of State Police Criminal Justice Information Center. The Governor's FY 2002-03 budget recommendation is, in part, based upon the establishment of the fee levels within these two bills.
