BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 411.0845, Government Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsections (l) and (m) to read as follows: | ||
(l) The department shall maintain the electronic | ||
fingerprint record of each person who is the subject of a criminal | ||
history record information request. The person who is the subject | ||
of a criminal history record information request may authorize the | ||
department to forward updated criminal history record information, | ||
including information received from the Federal Bureau of | ||
Investigation, to a person entitled to such information under this | ||
subchapter. After the department receives any fee charged by the | ||
department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the criminal | ||
history record information, the department shall forward the | ||
criminal history record information to the authorized person. | ||
(m) Notwithstanding any other law, a state agency may not | ||
require an individual to submit a completed fingerprint card or an | ||
electronic fingerprint record to obtain the individual's criminal | ||
history record information if the individual has submitted a | ||
completed fingerprint card or an electronic fingerprint record to | ||
the department not more than five years before the date the state | ||
agency requests the individual's criminal history record | ||
information from the department. | ||
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2011. |
