     (2) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection or

 

subsection (5), a covered facility shall not employ, independently

 

contract with, or grant privileges to an individual who regularly

 

has direct access to or provides direct services to patients or


 

residents in the covered facility until the covered facility or

 

staffing agency has a criminal history check conducted in

 

compliance with this section or has received criminal history

 

record information in compliance with subsections (3) and (10).

 

This subsection and subsection (1) do not apply to any of the

 

following:

 

     (a) An individual who is employed by, under independent

 

contract to, or granted clinical privileges in a covered facility

 

before April 1, 2006. On or before April 1, 2011, an individual who

 

is exempt under this subdivision and who has not been the subject

 

of a criminal history check conducted in compliance with this

 

section shall provide the department of state police with a set of

 

fingerprints and the department of state police shall input those

 

fingerprints into the automated fingerprint identification system

 

database established under subsection (13). An individual who is

 

exempt under this subdivision is not limited to working within the

 

covered facility with which he or she is employed by, under

 

independent contract to, or granted clinical privileges on April 1,

 

2006 but may transfer to another covered facility, adult foster

 

care facility, or mental health facility. If an individual who is

 

exempt under this subdivision is subsequently convicted of a crime

 

described under subsection (1)(a) to (g) or found to be the subject

 

of a substantiated finding described under subsection (1)(i) or an

 

order or disposition described under subsection (1)(h), or is found

 

to have been convicted of a relevant crime described under 42 USC

 

1320a-7(a), then he or she is no longer exempt and shall be

 

terminated from employment or denied employment or clinical


 

privileges.

 

     (b) An individual who is under an independent contract with a

 

covered facility if he or she is not under the facility's control

 

and the services for which he or she is contracted are not directly

 

related to the provision of services to a patient or resident or if

 

the services for which he or she is contracted allow for direct

 

access to the patients or residents but are not performed on an

 

ongoing basis. This exception includes, but is not limited to, an

 

individual who is under an independent contract with the covered

 

facility to provide utility, maintenance, construction, or

 

communications services.

 

     (3) An individual who applies for employment either as an

 

employee or as an independent contractor or for clinical privileges

 

with a staffing agency or covered facility and who has not been the

 

subject of a criminal history check conducted in compliance with

 

this section shall give written consent at the time of application

 

for the department of state police to conduct a criminal history

 

check under this section, along with identification acceptable to

 

the department of state police. If the applicant has been the

 

subject of a criminal history check conducted in compliance with

 

this section, the applicant shall give written consent at the time

 

of application for the covered facility or staffing agency to

 

obtain the criminal history record information as prescribed in

 

subsection (4) from the relevant licensing or regulatory department

 

and for the department of state police to conduct a criminal

 

history check under this section if the requirements of subsection

 

(10) are not met and a request to the federal bureau of


 

investigation to make a determination of the existence of any

 

national criminal history pertaining to the applicant is necessary,

 

along with identification acceptable to the department of state

 

police. Upon receipt of the written consent to obtain the criminal

 

history record information and identification required under this

 

subsection, the staffing agency or covered facility that has made a

 

good faith offer of employment or an independent contract or

 

clinical privileges to the applicant shall request the criminal

 

history record information from the relevant licensing or

 

regulatory department and shall make a request regarding that

 

applicant to the relevant licensing or regulatory department to

 

conduct a check of all relevant registries in the manner required

 

in subsection (4). If the requirements of subsection (10) are not

 

met and a request to the federal bureau of investigation to make a

 

subsequent determination of the existence of any national criminal

 

history pertaining to the applicant is necessary, the covered

 

facility or staffing agency shall proceed in the manner required in

 

subsection (4). A staffing agency that employs an individual who

 

regularly has direct access to or provides direct services to

 

patients or residents under an independent contract with a covered

 

facility shall submit information regarding the criminal history

 

check conducted by the staffing agency to the covered facility that

 

has made a good faith offer of independent contract to that

 

applicant.

 

     (4) Upon receipt of the written consent to conduct a criminal

 

history check and identification required under subsection (3), a

 

staffing agency or covered facility that has made a good faith


 

offer of employment or an independent contract or clinical

 

privileges to the applicant shall make a request to the department

 

of state police to conduct a criminal history check on the

 

applicant, to input the applicant's fingerprints into the automated

 

fingerprint identification system database, and to forward the

 

applicant's fingerprints to the federal bureau of investigation.

 

The department of state police shall request the federal bureau of

 

investigation to make a determination of the existence of any

 

national criminal history pertaining to the applicant. The

 

applicant shall provide the department of state police with a set

 

of fingerprints. The request shall be made in a manner prescribed

 

by the department of state police. The staffing agency or covered

 

facility shall make the written consent and identification

 

available to the department of state police. The staffing agency or

 

covered facility shall make a request regarding that applicant to

 

the relevant licensing or regulatory department to conduct a check

 

of all relevant registries established pursuant to federal and

 

state law and regulations for any substantiated findings of abuse,

 

neglect, or misappropriation of property. If the department of

 

state police or the federal bureau of investigation charges a fee

 

for conducting the criminal history check, the staffing agency or

 

covered facility shall pay the cost of the charge. If the

 

department of state police or the federal bureau of investigation

 

charges a fee for conducting the criminal history check, the

 

department shall pay the cost of or reimburse the charge for a

 

covered facility that is a home for the aged. The staffing agency

 

or covered facility shall not seek reimbursement for a charge


 

imposed by the department of state police or the federal bureau of

 

investigation from the individual who is the subject of the

 

criminal history check. A prospective employee or a prospective

 

independent contractor covered under this section may not be

 

charged for the cost of a criminal history check required under

 

this section. The department of state police shall conduct a

 

criminal history check on the applicant named in the request. The

 

department of state police shall provide the department with a

 

written report of the criminal history check conducted under this

 

subsection. The report shall contain any criminal history record

 

information on the applicant maintained by the department of state

 

police. The department of state police shall provide the results of

 

the federal bureau of investigation determination to the department

 

within 30 days after the request is made. If the requesting

 

staffing agency or covered facility is not a state department or

 

agency and if criminal history record information is disclosed on

 

the written report of the criminal history check or the federal

 

bureau of investigation determination that resulted in a

 

conviction, the department shall notify the staffing agency or

 

covered facility and the applicant in writing of the type of crime

 

disclosed on the written report of the criminal history check or

 

the federal bureau of investigation determination without

 

disclosing the details of the crime. Any charges imposed by the

 

department of state police or the federal bureau of investigation

 

for conducting a criminal history check or making a determination

 

under this subsection shall be paid in the manner required under

 

this subsection. The notice shall include a statement that the


 

applicant has a right to appeal the information relied upon by the

 

staffing agency or covered facility in making its decision

 

regarding his or her employment eligibility based on the criminal

 

history check. The notice shall also include information regarding

 

where to file and describing the appellate procedures established

 

under section 20173b.

 

     (5) If a covered facility determines it necessary to employ or

 

grant clinical privileges to an applicant before receiving the

 

results of the applicant's criminal history check or criminal

 

history record information under this section, the covered facility

 

may conditionally employ or grant conditional clinical privileges

 

to the individual if all of the following apply:

 

     (a) The covered facility requests the criminal history check

 

or criminal history record information under this section upon

 

conditionally employing or conditionally granting clinical

 

privileges to the individual.

 

     (b) The individual signs a statement in writing that indicates

 

all of the following:

 

     (i) That he or she has not been convicted of 1 or more of the

 

crimes that are described in subsection (1)(a) to (g) within the

 

applicable time period prescribed by each subdivision respectively.

 

     (ii) That he or she is not the subject of an order or

 

disposition described in subsection (1)(h).

 

     (iii) That he or she has not been the subject of a substantiated

 

finding as described in subsection (1)(i).

 

     (iv) That he or she agrees that, if the information in the

 

criminal history check conducted under this section does not


 

confirm the individual's statements under subparagraphs (i) to (iii),

 

his or her employment or clinical privileges will be terminated by

 

the covered facility as required under subsection (1) unless and

 

until the individual appeals and can prove that the information is

 

incorrect.

 

     (v) That he or she understands that the conditions described

 

in subparagraphs (i) to (iv) may result in the termination of his or

 

her employment or clinical privileges and that those conditions are

 

good cause for termination.

 

     (c) Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, the

 

covered facility does not permit the individual to have regular

 

direct access to or provide direct services to patients or

 

residents in the covered facility without supervision until the

 

criminal history check or criminal history record information is

 

obtained and the individual is eligible for that employment or

 

clinical privileges. If required under this subdivision, the

 

covered facility shall provide on-site supervision of an individual

 

in the covered facility on a conditional basis under this

 

subsection by an individual who has undergone a criminal history

 

check conducted in compliance with this section. A covered facility

 

may permit an individual in the covered facility on a conditional

 

basis under this subsection to have regular direct access to or

 

provide direct services to patients or residents in the covered

 

facility without supervision if all of the following conditions are

 

met:

 

     (i) The covered facility, at its own expense and before the

 

individual has direct access to or provides direct services to


 

patients or residents of the covered facility, conducts a search of

 

public records on that individual through the internet criminal

 

history access tool maintained by the department of state police

 

and the results of that search do not uncover any information that

 

would indicate that the individual is not eligible to have regular

 

direct access to or provide direct services to patients or

 

residents under this section.

 

     (ii) Before the individual has direct access to or provides

 

direct services to patients or residents of the covered facility,

 

the individual signs a statement in writing that he or she has

 

resided in this state without interruption for at least the

 

immediately preceding 12-month period.

 

     (iii) If applicable, the individual provides to the department

 

of state police a set of fingerprints on or before the expiration

 

of 10 business days following the date the individual was

 

conditionally employed or granted conditional clinical privileges

 

under this subsection.

 

     (6) The department shall develop and distribute a model form

 

for the statements required under subsection (5)(b) and (c). The

 

department shall make the model form available to covered

 

facilities upon request at no charge.

 

     (7) If an individual is employed as a conditional employee or

 

is granted conditional clinical privileges under subsection (5),

 

and the information under subsection (3) or report under subsection

 

(4) does not confirm the individual's statement under subsection

 

(5)(b)(i) to (iii), the covered facility shall terminate the

 

individual's employment or clinical privileges as required by


 

subsection (1).

 

     (8) An individual who knowingly provides false information

 

regarding his or her identity, criminal convictions, or

 

substantiated findings on a statement described in subsection

 

(5)(b)(i) to (iii) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by

 

imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than

 

$500.00, or both.

 

     (9) A staffing agency or covered facility shall use criminal

 

history record information obtained under subsection (3) or (4)

 

only for the purpose of evaluating an applicant's qualifications

 

for employment, an independent contract, or clinical privileges in

 

the position for which he or she has applied and for the purposes

 

of subsections (5) and (7). A staffing agency or covered facility

 

or an employee of the staffing agency or covered facility shall not

 

disclose criminal history record information obtained under

 

subsection (3) or (4) to a person who is not directly involved in

 

evaluating the applicant's qualifications for employment, an

 

independent contract, or clinical privileges. An individual who

 

knowingly uses or disseminates the criminal history record

 

information obtained under subsection (3) or (4) in violation of

 

this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by

 

imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than

 

$1,000.00, or both. Except for a knowing or intentional release of

 

false information, a staffing agency or covered facility has no

 

liability in connection with a criminal history check conducted in

 

compliance with this section or the release of criminal history

 

record information under this subsection.


 

     (10) Upon consent of an applicant as required in subsection

 

(3) and upon request from a staffing agency or covered facility

 

that has made a good faith offer of employment or an independent

 

contract or clinical privileges to the applicant, the relevant

 

licensing or regulatory department shall review the criminal

 

history record information, if any, and notify the requesting

 

staffing agency or covered facility of the information in the

 

manner prescribed in subsection (4). Until the federal bureau of

 

investigation implements an automatic notification system similar

 

to the system required of the state police under subsection (13)

 

and federal regulations allow the federal criminal record to be

 

used for subsequent authorized uses, as determined in an order

 

issued by the department, a staffing agency or covered facility may

 

rely on the criminal history record information provided by the

 

relevant licensing or regulatory department under this subsection

 

and a request to the federal bureau of investigation to make a

 

subsequent determination of the existence of any national criminal

 

history pertaining to the applicant is not necessary if all of the

 

following requirements are met:

 

     (a) The criminal history check was conducted during the

 

immediately preceding 12-month period.

 

     (b) The applicant has been continuously employed by the

 

staffing agency or a covered facility, adult foster care facility,

 

or mental health facility since the criminal history check was

 

conducted in compliance with this section or meets the continuous

 

employment requirement of this subdivision other than being on

 

layoff status for less than 1 year from a covered facility, adult


 

foster care facility, or mental health facility.

 

     (c) The applicant can provide evidence acceptable to the

 

relevant licensing or regulatory department that he or she has been

 

a resident of this state for the immediately preceding 12-month

 

period.

 

     (11) As a condition of continued employment, each employee,

 

independent contractor, or individual granted clinical privileges

 

shall do each of the following:

 

     (a) Agree in writing to report to the staffing agency or

 

covered facility immediately upon being arraigned for 1 or more of

 

the criminal offenses listed in subsection (1)(a) to (g), upon

 

being convicted of 1 or more of the criminal offenses listed in

 

subsection (1)(a) to (g), upon becoming the subject of an order or

 

disposition described under subsection (1)(h), and upon being the

 

subject of a substantiated finding of neglect, abuse, or

 

misappropriation of property as described in subsection (1)(i).

 

Reporting of an arraignment under this subdivision is not cause for

 

termination or denial of employment.

 

     (b) If a set of fingerprints is not already on file with the

 

department of state police, provide the department of state police

 

with a set of fingerprints.

 

     (12) In addition to sanctions set forth in section 20165, a

 

licensee, owner, administrator, or operator of a staffing agency or

 

covered facility who knowingly and willfully fails to conduct the

 

criminal history checks as required under this section is guilty of

 

a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year

 

or a fine of not more than $5,000.00, or both.


 

     (13) In collaboration with the department of state police, the

 

department of technology, management, and budget shall establish

 

and maintain an automated fingerprint identification system

 

database that would allow the department of state police to store

 

and maintain all fingerprints submitted under this section and

 

would provide for an automatic notification if and when a

 

subsequent criminal arrest fingerprint card submitted into the

 

system matches a set of fingerprints previously submitted under

 

this section. Upon such notification, the department of state

 

police shall immediately notify the department and the department

 

shall immediately contact each respective staffing agency or

 

covered facility with which that individual is associated.

 

Information in the database established under this subsection is

 

confidential, is not subject to disclosure under the freedom of

 

information act, 1976 PA 442, MCL 15.231 to 15.246, and shall not

 

be disclosed to any person except for purposes of this act or for

 

law enforcement purposes.

 

     (14) The department shall maintain an electronic web-based

 

system to assist staffing agencies and covered facilities required

 

to check relevant registries and conduct criminal history checks of

 

its employees, independent contractors, and individuals granted

 

privileges and to provide for an automated notice to those staffing

 

agencies and covered facilities for those individuals inputted in

 

the system who, since the initial criminal history check, have been

 

convicted of a disqualifying offense or have been the subject of a

 

substantiated finding of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of

 

property. The department may charge a staffing agency a 1-time set-
