LAC 22:III.725. Time for Reply

A. Every affected criminal justice agency which receives a request for information must make every effort to locate the information requested, and shall in any event forward a reply to the requesting agency within seven normal working days of receipt of the request, except as provided for requests to the central state repository. In such instances where the responding agency maintains criminal history record files accessible solely by fingerprint classification numbers, the response time may be extended up to a maximum of 30 days to allow for the classification of the fingerprints accompanying the query. Such classification may be performed by the responding agency or by the central state repository.
