                    RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 300 (SB 157) 2022 Regular Session	Milligan
Existing law requires that the Louisiana Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information,
upon request of certain enumerated entities, provide the information contained in the bureau's
criminal history records and identification files.
New law adds the division of administration, office of technology services, to the list of
entities that may request this information.
Existing law provides that agencies with access to federal tax information may require that
any current or prospective employee, contractor, or subcontractor submit to a criminal history
records check and fingerprints to the Louisiana Bureau of Criminal Identification and
Information. Requires the bureau to forward these fingerprints to the FBI when a national
criminal history records check is requested.
New law retains these existing law provisions but authorizes the bureau to submit
fingerprints to the FBI for retention in the FBI rap back system. New law requires the bureau
to make rap back requests available to the division of administration, office of technology
services and requires that any recipient of this information maintain the confidentiality of
these records.
Effective August 1, 2022.
(Amends R.S. 15:587(A)(1)(a); adds R.S. 15:587(A)(1)(m) and 587.5(B)(3))
