An act to amend 1935 PA 120, entitled “An act to prescribe a method for the fingerprinting of residents of the state; to provide for the recording and filing of the fingerprints by the central records division of the department of state police; and to impose a fee,” by amending section 3 (MCL 28.273), as amended by 2019 PA 78.

House Fiscal Agency Analysis

House Bill 5000 would amend 1935 PA 120, which regulates the fingerprinting of state residents, by extending the sunsets on fees collected by the Department of State Police (MSP) for collecting fingerprints and processing fingerprint and name-based criminal record checks. Without an extension of the sunsets, fees would not be collected after September 30, 2023. The bill would extend the sunsets date to October 1, 2027. FY 2022- 23 fee amounts would be maintained under the bill. Fees are currently set at $30 for taking and processing fingerprints and completing a criminal record check and $10 for processing a name-based criminal record check. Sunsets on both fees were previously extended in 2019.
