DPS indicates the Crime Records Section (CRS) of DPS where fugitive information is maintained does not have capability for facial verification, but they would be able to verify applicants are not fugitives by checking both thumbprints and all fingerprints. Currently, only thumbprints are used to verify other information regarding applicants for the applicable documents and would not be sufficient to check against CRS records. This would require DPS to obtain programming and equipment to obtain full sets of fingerprints from all applicants and allow the CRS to interface with the Driver License System. Additionally, DPS will require an additional 15 Fingerprint Technician IIIs to analyze and process the additional submitted fingerprints to comply with the provisions of the bill.
