§ 130.60 Summons; fingerprinting of defendant.

1. Upon the arraignment of a defendant whose court attendance has been

secured by the issuance and service of a summons, based upon an

indictment, a prosecutor's information or upon an information, felony

complaint or misdemeanor complaint filed by a complainant who is a

police officer, the court must, if an offense charged in the accusatory

instrument is one specified in subdivision one of section 160.10, direct

that the defendant be fingerprinted by the appropriate police officer or

agency, and that he or she appear at an appropriate designated time and

place for such purpose.

2. Upon the arraignment of a defendant whose court attendance has been

secured by the issuance and service of a summons based upon an

information or misdemeanor complaint filed by a complainant who is not a

police officer, and who has not previously been fingerprinted, the court

may, if it finds reasonable cause to believe that the defendant has

committed an offense specified in subdivision one of section 160.10,

direct that the defendant be fingerprinted by the appropriate police

officer or agency and that he appear at an appropriate designated time

and place for such purpose. A defendant whose court appearance has been

secured by the issuance and service of a criminal summons based upon a

misdemeanor complaint or information filed by a complainant who is not a

police officer, must be directed by the court, upon conviction of the

defendant, to be fingerprinted by the appropriate police officer or

agency and the court must also direct that the defendant appear at an

appropriate designated time and place for such purpose, if the defendant

is convicted of any offense specified in subdivision one of section

160.10.
