This law requires courts to report final dispositions of criminal cases, including convictions, vacated judgments, and not guilty findings, to the Department of State Police, Department of Corrections, and Department of Health. It mandates fingerprinting for certain offenses and timely reporting of convictions involving health licensees. The law also ensures that databases are updated to reflect vacated or dismissed cases, removing public conviction information when appropriate.
