MINOR

This bill amends Hawaii's identification processing laws to ensure that individuals who receive citations for criminal offenses and are later convicted or granted deferred pleas are fingerprinted and photographed. Previously, the law only required processing for arrests and penal summonses, leaving a gap where citation-based cases might not be properly recorded in criminal history databases. This change improves the accuracy and completeness of criminal records used by law enforcement and courts.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of identification processing to include cases initiated by citations that result in conviction or deferred pleas, whereas previously only arrests and penal summonses were covered.

SCOPE

Added requirement for identification processing (fingerprinting and photographing) for persons convicted after receiving citations for criminal offenses, not just those arrested or served with penal summonses.

ENFORCEMENT

Clarified that failure to comply with a court order for identification processing constitutes criminal contempt of court under section 710-1077.

REQUIREMENT

Updated the bill's title and description to reflect the expanded scope of identification processing to include citation-based cases.
