Summary
The act allows regulators of the following professions and occupations to require an applicant for a license, certification, or registration to submit to a fingerprint-based criminal history record check (fingerprint-based record check):
Audiologists;
Certified midwives;
Cremationists;
Dental hygienists;
Dentists;
Embalmers;
Funeral directors;
Licensed professional counselors;
Mortuary science practitioners;
Natural reductionists;
Occupational therapists;
Occupational therapy assistants;
Physician assistants;
Social workers; and
Speech-language pathologists.
An applicant submitting to a fingerprint-based record check must pay the costs associated with the fingerprint-based record check.
If an applicant's fingerprint-based record check reveals a record of arrest without a disposition, the applicant must submit to a name-based judicial record check.
A local government entity is authorized to perform a fingerprint-based record check when an ordinance or resolution requires an individual to submit to a fingerprint-based record check.
The act also clarifies who is eligible to submit to, who is eligible to receive records from, and the type of records an entity may receive from a fingerprint-based record check and aligns state law with federal bureau of investigation requirements.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
