Sec. 5k. (1) The department of state police shall store and retain all fingerprints submitted under this act in an automated fingerprint identification system database that provides for an automatic notification at the time a subsequent criminal arrest fingerprint card submitted into the system matches a set of fingerprints previously submitted in accordance with this act. Upon that notification, the department of state police shall immediately notify the department and the department shall immediately contact the respective child care organization with which that individual is associated. Except for child placing agencies and child caring institutions, the criminal history record information must only be released to the individual to whom the criminal history record information pertains.
