This retention period is based upon national standards in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR 28 Part 23) regarding the operation of federally funded, multijurisdictional criminal intelligence systems.

   1. (a) Notwithstanding, specific records of LPR data may be retained beyond five years where there is an active investigation or pending case related to those records. In the event the records of the active investigation or pending case, the agency is responsible for notifying ALEA to maintain the records for longer than the five-year retention period.
2. (2) The State LPR Registry shall maintain data and its dissemination logs for five years.
