Champagne HB No. 167
Abstract: Provides that information concerning prior arrests for sex offenses and crimes of
violence as well as convictions dismissed pursuant to C.C.P. Art. 893 shall be provided to
an institution of postsecondary education that requests the criminal history information of
an applicant or prospective employee.
Present law provides that each institution of postsecondary education may require any applicant
or prospective employee to submit to a criminal history records check conducted by the Bureau
of Criminal Identification and Information which shall provide the institution of postsecondary
education with state or national criminal history information, including all conviction
information contained in the bureau's criminal history record and identification files which
pertain to the applicant or prospective employee.
Proposed law adds prior arrests for sex offenses or crimes of violence and convictions dismissed
pursuant to C.Cr.P. Art. 893 or 894 to the criminal history information that the bureau is required
to provide to the institution of postsecondary education.
