SB 5553 - DIGEST

(SEE ALSO PROPOSED 1ST SUB)

Finds that creating a pilot program, by strategically placing several live-scan devices in government offices throughout the state, will help employers and prospective employees to more easily gather and transmit data for noncriminal justice purposes.

Appropriates the amount of two hundred seventy thousand dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, from the state general fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, to the superintendent of public instruction. The amount in this provision is provided solely to purchase a live-scan device for each educational service district, to be used for noncriminal justice purposes.
