LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1055, as introduced, Ashburn. State Chief Information Officer:
fingerprints: criminal history.
Existing law authorizes certain state agencies to require
fingerprint images and associated information from employees and
prospective employees, and to furnish those images and that
information to the Department of Justice for the purpose of obtaining
information relating to criminal convictions.
This bill would, in addition, authorize the State Chief
Information Officer to require fingerprint images and associated
information from an employee, prospective employee, contractor,
subcontractor, volunteer, or vendor whose duties include, or would
include, access to confidential or sensitive information. The bill
would allow the State Chief Information Officer to furnish those
images and that information to the Department of Justice for the
purpose of obtaining information relating to criminal convictions or
the existence and content of a record of arrest, as specified. The
bill would require the State Chief Information Officer to request
subsequent arrest notifications, as specified, and would authorize
the Department of Justice to assess a fee sufficient to cover the
processing costs imposed by these provisions.
