handle is hein.sag/sagga0100 and id is 1 raw text is: GEORGIA DEPARTMEN oF LAW Official Opinion 2020-1 April 13, 2020 To: Deputy Director for Georgia Crime Information Center Re: Supplemental 2019 update of crimes and offenses for which the Georgia Crime Information Center is authorized to collect and file fingerprints. You have requested in your letter of January 21, 2020, my opinion whether the misdemeanor offense contained in O.C.G.A. § 16-12-225(b), enacted during the 2019 Session of the General Assembly, should be designated as an offense for which persons charged with violations are to be fingerprinted. You have further requested guidance in identifying any additional misdemeanor offenses in O.C.G.A. §§ 16-12-210 -16-12-22 and 16-12-226, also enacted during the 2019 Session of the General Assembly, and if so identified, whether they should be designated as offenses for which persons charged with violations are to be fingerprinted. Pursuant to Georgia law, I make the following designations in relation to your question. Generally, under Georgia law, in addition to the determination of fingerprintable offenses which the General Assembly may mandate by statute, O.C.G.A. § 35-3-33 (a)(1)(A)(v) provides that the Attorney General may designate any other offense as one for which those charged with violations are to be fingerprinted. See, e.g., 2018 Op. Att'y Gen. 2018-3, 2017 Op. Att'y Gen. 2017-1, 2015 Op. Att'y Gen. 2015-2, 2014 Op. Att'y Gen. 2014-2, 2013 Op. Att'y Gen. 2013-4, 2012 Op. Att'y Gen. 2012-6, 2011 Op.
