The department shall develop a master plan recommending
the type, number, and location of equipment necessary to implement
RAN. The department shall also develop policy guidelines and
administrative procedures to facilitate the implementation and use of
RAN. The RAN master plan shall include reasonable interface
specifications to access Cal-ID and shall be provided to any supplier
of automated fingerprint identification systems interested in
bidding on RAN by May 15, 1986.
The master plan shall provide for the use of facsimile and direct
image "live read" fingerprint equipment under RAN, including
point-of-booking terminals.
The department shall amend the master plan to include additional
processing, matching, and communications equipment at the Department
of Justice, and to recommend the type, number, and location of
equipment necessary to implement facsimile and direct image "live
read" fingerprint equipment as part of RAN, including
point-of-booking terminals. Funding shall be on a shared basis
between the state and a region pursuant to Section 11112.5.
(a) The Attorney General shall appoint a RAN Advisory
Committee to review the master plan, policy guidelines, and
administrative procedures prepared by the department and advise the
Attorney General of any modifications the committee deems necessary.
Final approval and acceptance of the RAN Advisory Committee proposals
shall be made by the Attorney General.
(b) The RAN Advisory Committee shall be composed of one representative from each of the following: The League of California Cities, California Peace Officers' Association, California District Attorneys' Association, California Police Chiefs' Association, California State Sheriffs' Association, County Supervisors' Association of California, Department of General Services, Office of Information Technology, and the Department of Justice. The members of the committee shall select a chairperson. The members shall serve without compensation, but reasonable and necessary travel and per diem expenses incurred by committee members shall be reimbursed by the department. The RAN Advisory Committee shall terminate January 1, 1989, unless extended by legislation enacted prior thereto.

(a) Within each county or group of counties eligible to
receive funding under the department's master plan for equipment,
that elects to participate in the Remote Access Network, a local RAN
board shall be established. Where a single county is eligible to
receive funding, that county's RAN board shall be the local RAN
board. Where a group of counties is eligible for funding, the local
RAN board shall consist of a regional board. The RAN board shall
determine the placement of RAN equipment within the county or
counties, and coordinate acceptance, delivery, and installation of
RAN equipment. The board shall also develop any procedures necessary
to regulate the ongoing use and maintenance of that equipment,
adhering to the policy guidelines and procedures adopted by the
department. The local board shall consider placement of equipment on
the basis of the following criteria:
(1) The crime rate of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions served by the agency.
(2) The number of criminal offenses reported by the agency or agencies to the department.
(3) The potential number of fingerprint cards and latent fingerprints processed.
(4) The number of sworn personnel of the agency or agencies.
(b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), each RAN board shall be composed of seven members, as follows: a member of the board of supervisors, the sheriff, the district attorney, the chief of police of the Cal-ID member department having the largest number of sworn personnel within the county, a second chief selected by all other police chiefs within the county, a mayor elected by the city selection committee established pursuant to Section 50270 of the Government Code, and a member-at-large chosen by the other members. In any county lacking two chiefs of police, a substitute member shall be selected by the other members on the board. Groups of counties forming a region shall establish a seven-member board with each county having equal representation on the board and at least one member-at-large. If the number of participating counties precludes equal representation on a seven-member board, the size of the board shall be expanded so that each county has at least two representatives and there is a single member-at-large.
(c) In any county with a population of 5,000,000 or more, each local board shall be composed of seven members, as follows: a member of the board of supervisors, the sheriff, the district attorney, the chief of police of the Cal-ID member department having the largest number of sworn personnel within the county, a second chief selected by all other police chiefs within the county, the mayor of the city with the greatest population within the county that has a Cal-ID member police department, and a member-at-large chosen by the other members. In any county lacking two chiefs of police, a substitute member shall be selected by the other members of the board.
(d) A county which is a part of a regional board may form a local RAN advisory board. The purpose of the local RAN advisory board shall be to provide advice and recommendations to the county's representatives on the regional RAN board. The local RAN advisory board may appoint alternate members to the regional RAN board from the local RAN advisory board to serve and work in the place of a regional RAN board member who is absent or who disqualifies himself or herself from participation in a meeting of the regional RAN board. If a vacancy occurs in the office of a regional RAN board in a county which has established a local RAN advisory board, an alternate member selected by the local RAN advisory board may serve and vote in place of the former regional RAN board member until the appointment of a regional RAN board member is made to fill the vacancy.
