| 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 | ||

| 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. | ||
