California amends criminal background checks law

The Attorney General is authorized to provide any foreign government criminal history information, if the information is requested by the individual who is the subject of the record requested and if that information is needed in conjunction with the individual's application to adopt a minor child who is a citizen of that foreign nation.

Also, the Department of Justice is required to disseminate the date and agency name associated with all retained peace officer or nonsworn law enforcement agency employee preemployment criminal offender record information search requests.

The Department must retain an individual's fingerprint images and related information submitted as part of a peace officer or nonsworn law enforcement agency employee preemployment criminal offender record information search request (Penal Code, Part 4, Title 1, Chapter 1, Article 3, Sections 11105 and 11105.06, as amended and enacted by Ch. 97 (A.B. 297), L. 2009 and Ch. 441 (A.B. 428) L. 2009, effective Jan. 1, 2010).
