The Department of Justice shall designate an appropriate county or portion of a county, with the county's consent, for a pilot fingerprint project. The designated area should be as self-contained as possible to increase the likelihood that the arrestees' residences, places of work, and general driving patterns are within its boundaries. In consultation with the department, the sheriff of the designated county shall fingerprint persons who are arrested for a violation of Section 23152 or 23153 of the Vehicle Code using a livescan fingerprint computer system. The sheriff of the county designated by the Department of Justice shall cooperate with the department in the county's implementation of the pilot project.

Under the pilot project, the sheriff of the designated county shall statistically track the persons arrested for driving under the influence for an 18-month period to determine whether the same individuals are arrested for subsequent driving offenses during the pilot period and whether the person's prior records in the pilot project fingerprint data base are successfully matched as a result of the fingerprint identification process.
