1 1 Section 1. Section 690.2, Code 1995, is amended to read as
1 2 follows:
1 3 690.2 FINGER AND PALM PRINTS – PHOTOGRAPHS – DUTY OF
1 4 SHERIFF AND CHIEF OF POLICE.
1 5 The sheriff of every county, and the chief of police of
1 6 each city regardless of the form of government thereof, shall
1 7 take the fingerprints of all unidentified dead bodies in their
1 8 respective jurisdictions and all persons who are taken into
1 9 custody for the commission of a serious misdemeanor, other
1 10 than a serious misdemeanor under chapter 321 or 321A,
1 11 aggravated misdemeanor, or felony and shall forward such
1 12 fingerprint records on such forms and in such manner as may be
1 13 prescribed by the commissioner of public safety, within two
1 14 working days after the fingerprint records are taken, to the
1 15 department of public safety and, if appropriate, to the
1 16 federal bureau of investigation. Fingerprints may be taken of
1 17 a person who has been arrested for a public offense subject to
1 18 an enhanced penalty for conviction of a second or subsequent
1 19 offense. In addition to the fingerprints as herein provided,
1 20 any such officer may also take the photograph and palm prints
1 21 of any such person and forward them to the department of
1 22 public safety. If a defendant is convicted by a court of this
1 23 state of an offense which is a serious misdemeanor, other than
1 24 a serious misdemeanor under chapter 321 or 321A, aggravated
1 25 misdemeanor, or felony, the court shall determine whether such
1 26 defendant has previously been fingerprinted in connection with
1 27 the criminal proceedings leading to the conviction and, if
1 28 not, shall order that the defendant be fingerprinted and those
1 29 prints submitted to the department of public safety. The
1 30 court shall also order that a juvenile adjudicated delinquent
1 31 for an offense which would be a violation of section 321J.2 or
1 32 an act which would be an aggravated misdemeanor or felony if
1 33 committed by an adult be fingerprinted and the prints
1 34 submitted to the department of public safety if the juvenile
1 35 has not previously been fingerprinted in proceedings leading
2 1 to the adjudication.
2 2 EXPLANATION
2 3 This bill eliminates the requirement that persons taken
2 4 into custody for the commission of an offense which is a
2 5 serious misdemeanor under chapter 321 (motor vehicles and law
2 6 of the road) or 321A (motor vehicle financial responsibility)
2 7 be fingerprinted and the prints sent to the department of
2 8 public safety. The bill also provides that the court shall
2 9 order the fingerprinting of a juvenile adjudicated delinquent
2 10 for a violation of section 321J.2 or an offense which would be
2 11 an aggravated misdemeanor or felony if committed by an adult
2 12 if the juvenile was not fingerprinted in pre-adjudication
2 13 proceedings.
