contrary, a local unit of government may by ordinance require the

 

fingerprinting of applicants or licensees in certain occupations

this act may be submitted by the local unit of government to the

 

department of state police for a state criminal history record

a national criminal history record check.

 

     (2) The department of state police shall serve as the sole

 

source for receiving fingerprint submissions from local units of

 

government and for receiving the responses to those fingerprint

 

submissions from the federal bureau of investigation. The criminal

 

history record check information obtained by the department of

 

state police shall be disseminated to the local unit of government.

 

     (3) The appropriate fees for a state and national criminal

 

history record check shall be transmitted by the local unit of

 

government to the department of state police.

 

     (4) As used in this act, "local unit of government" means a

 

county, city, village, township, or charter township.
