Committee advances bill to require juvenile fingerprint transmission to SLED
Summary
Bill 5120 would reconcile inconsistent code sections and require that juvenile fingerprint records be transmitted to SLED; the subcommittee voted the measure to the full committee with no recorded opposition.
The subcommittee moved bill 5120 to the full committee after staff summarized the measure as correcting an inconsistency between two code sections that differed on whether juvenile fingerprint records "may" or "must" be transmitted to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). Speaker Wilkinson said the bill would require transmission of all juvenile fingerprint records to SLED and would update cross‑references related to assault and battery against school personnel.
No witnesses opposed the measure at the subcommittee hearing and a motion for a favorable report passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The bill will proceed to the full committee.
