   An act to amend Section 76102 of the Government Code, relating to
county penalties.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 181, Beall. County penalties: automated fingerprint
identification fund.
   Existing law permits a county board of supervisors, subject to
specified limitations, to establish in the county treasury an
Automated Fingerprint Identification and Digital Image Photographic
Suspect Booking Identification System Fund into which shall be
deposited the amounts specified in resolutions adopted by the board
of supervisors. Existing law requires these funds to be held separate
from other funds that are subject to transfer and division, as
specified. Existing law provides that deposits to the fund may
continue through the 20th year after the initial calendar year in
which the surcharge is collected, or longer if necessary to make
payments upon any lease or leaseback arrangement utilized to finance
specified projects.
   This bill would delete the limitation on the period during which
deposits may be made into an Automated Fingerprint Identification and
Digital Image Photographic Suspect Booking Identification System
Fund.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 76102 of the Government Code is amended to

treasury an Automated Fingerprint Identification and Digital Image
Photographic Suspect Booking Identification System Fund into which
shall be deposited the amounts specified in the resolutions adopted
by the board of supervisors as authorized in accordance with this
title. The moneys of the fund shall be payable only for the purchase,
lease, operation, including personnel and related costs, and
maintenance of automated fingerprint equipment and digital image
photographic equipment, replacement of existing automated fingerprint
equipment, digital image photographic equipment, and other equipment
needed for the suspect booking process, and for the reimbursement of
local agencies within the county which have previously purchased,
leased, operated, or maintained automated fingerprint equipment and
digital image photographic equipment from other funding sources.
   (b) For purposes of this section, the following terms have the
following meanings:
   (1) "Automated fingerprint equipment" means that equipment

   (2) "Digital photographic equipment" means that equipment designed
for the capture, storage, retrieval, or transmittal of digital
photographic images of persons who are booked as a result of having
been arrested or charged with a crime.
   (c) The fund moneys shall be held by the county treasurer separate
from any funds subject to transfer or division pursuant to Section
1463 of the Penal Code.
