837-P - Criminal history records search for certain licenses and registrations in the county of Westchester.

§  837-p.  Criminal  history  records  search for certain licenses and
  registrations in the county of Westchester. 1. As used in this section:
    (a)  "Commission"  shall  mean  the  Westchester  county  solid  waste
  commission.
    (b)  "Applicant"  shall  mean  a  person  applying  for  a  license or
  registration pursuant to chapter eight hundred twenty-six-a of the  laws
  of Westchester county which requires the submission of fingerprints.
    2.   As   a   condition   of  eligibility  for  such  licenses  and/or
  registrations, the commission shall obtain two sets of  the  applicant's
  fingerprints  and  submit such fingerprints to the division for purposes
  of determining the criminal history of the applicant.
    3. The first set of fingerprints received by  the  division  shall  be
  used to identify the applicant and to conduct a criminal history records
  search  of  the  division's New York state files to determine whether or
  not such applicant has a criminal history in this  state.  The  division
  shall  forward  the  second  set of such applicant's fingerprints to the
  federal bureau of investigation for the purpose of a nationwide criminal
  history record check to determine whether such applicant has a  criminal
  history in any state or federal jurisdiction.
    4.  The  division  shall promptly transmit the reports of the New York
  state  criminal  record  search  to  the  executive  director   of   the
  commission.  The  federal  bureau of investigation reports of nationwide
  criminal records searches shall be transmitted to the executive director
  of the commission by the most direct means authorized  by  federal  law,
  rules   and   regulations.  All  such  reports,  when  received  by  the
  commission, shall be marked confidential and securely stored, and  shall
  not  be  disclosed  to any person other than the applicant, although the
  contents  of  the  report  may  be  disclosed  to  the  members  of  the
  commission.
    5.  (a) Each applicant shall sign a release authorizing the commission
  to submit such applicant's fingerprints to the division and the  federal
  bureau   of  investigation,  and  for  the  executive  director  of  the
  commission to receive  the  results  of  such  criminal  history  record
  searches   supplied   by   the   division  and  the  federal  bureau  of
  investigation. Such release shall  also  advise  the  applicant  that  a
  criminal   history  record  search  will  be  conducted  concerning  the
  applicant and that he or she may obtain a copy of his  or  her  criminal
  history  record and seek correction of any information contained in such
  record pursuant to regulations promulgated by the division.
    (b) Each such  applicant  shall,  in  advance,  make  payment  to  the
  commission  of  the  fee  required  pursuant  to  subdivision eight-a of
  section eight hundred thirty-seven of this article and any  fee  imposed
  by the federal bureau of investigation.
