A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
relating to the submission of fingerprints with an application to |
|
the Texas Private Security Board. |
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
SECTION 1. Section 1702.282(a), Occupations Code, is |
|
amended to read as follows: |
|
(a) The board shall conduct a criminal history check, |
|
including a check of any criminal history record information |
|
maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in the manner |
|
provided by Subchapter F, Chapter 411, Government Code, on each |
|
applicant for a license, registration, security officer |
|
commission, letter of approval, permit, endorsement, or |
|
certification. As part of its criminal history check, the board |
|
may request that the applicant provide certified copies of relevant |
|
court documents or other records. The failure to provide the |
|
requested records within a reasonable time as determined by the |
|
board may result in the application being considered |
|
incomplete. An applicant is not eligible for a license, |
|
registration, commission, letter of approval, permit, endorsement, |
|
or certification if the check reveals that the applicant has |
|
committed an act that constitutes grounds for the denial of the |
|
license, registration, commission, letter of approval, permit, |
|
endorsement, or certification. Except as provided by Subsection |
|
(d), each applicant shall submit at the time of application[,
|
|
including an application] for [the renewal of] a license, |
|
registration, commission, letter of approval, permit, endorsement, |
|
or certification[,] fingerprints in the manner prescribed by the |
|
board accompanied by the fee set by the board. |
|
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 on the 91st day after the last day of the |
|
legislative session. |
