Administrative Rules Update  
The CJIS Administrative Rules were last updated in 2009. Judge Tabbey and Mr. Collins expressed

as proposed and submit it to the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules. Motion was

Board Round Table  
Mr. Jay Rice updated the Board on new technology and security within the Department of Corrections  
prison facilities. Mr. Rice suggested this may be a future agenda item as to how these systems will be  
monitored and audited.  
An e-filing update was provided by Ms. Bobbi Morrow. Phase 1 with the model civil courts is complete,  
and they are planning a rollout. Phase 2 discussions have started and will involve the criminal courts. Ms.  
Morrow proposed that a presentation be provided at the next meeting on Bail Reform.  
Judge Tabbey informed the board of the Michigan Joint Task Force (MJTF) on Jail Reform and  
Incarceration. The MJTF will be invited to the November Board Meeting to update the board on their  
mission and provide guidance on how the board can assist.  
The SOS approached the MSP about the impact of individuals changing their identity without  
documentation on their driver license. Ms. Dawn Brinningstaull requested the Board members input as to  
the impact to their agencies. The following areas were identified:  
•
•
Criminal justice systems are programmed to search on identity and would require reprogramming;  
disparency between requiring documentation for a name change but not gender change: whether  
change would be compliant with real ID/passports and selective service requirements;  
false arrest situations; gender specific laws;  
impact to MDOC for placement;  
how to handle the larger amount of data that will be returned on a query to assure officer safety;  
impact to crime solving investigations;  
•
•
•
•
•
how to ensure federal compliance.  
Various solutions to these topics were brainstormed.  
Motion to adjourn was made by Undersheriff Chuck DeWitt and seconded by Mr. Robert Medacco.  
Motion passed unanimously.
