House Judiciary takes executive action on House Bill 8‑90; roll call began, final outcome not specified in transcript
Summary
The committee moved that House Bill 8‑90 "do pass"; discussion included a conceptual amendment to strike a subsection requiring names be identifiable in a criminal‑history data warehouse. Roll call voting proceeded but the provided transcript does not record the final outcome.
House Judiciary convened executive action on House Bill 8‑90. Vice Chair Deming moved the bill "do pass." Committee staff summarized the bill: it would require coordination among the Department of Justice, Department of Corrections and Judicial Branch to determine how to provide criminal‑history information to a criminal justice data warehouse.
Vice Chair France told the committee members they had discussed a conceptual amendment to delete subsection (b), which required the procedure to ensure that the "name of each convicted offender is identifiable" in the data flow. France said members were uncomfortable requiring that specific identifying names be included for the warehouse's stated analytical uses, and offered striking that subsection conceptually while retaining the consultation requirement.
Members debated confidentiality concerns and whether some criminal‑history file material is already considered confidential at the district court level; Representative Griffith noted existing court confidentiality processes for some records. Representative Kelly argued existing procedures can be used and favored passing the bill.
The clerk called a roll call vote and recorded individual member votes in the provided transcript excerpt (several members are recorded as voting "yes" or "no"), but the transcript ends before a final tally or formal announcement of the motion’s outcome.
Recorded procedural steps in the transcript: Vice Chair Deming moved "do pass," committee discussed a conceptual amendment (strike subsection b), and a roll call was initiated; the final outcome is not specified in the provided portion of the transcript.
