Section 50. Validity of criminal history record reports
-
A. Facility staff shall accept only the original criminal history record report. Photocopies will not be acceptable.
EXCEPTION: Facilities using temporary agencies for the provision of substitute staff shall request a letter from the agency containing the following information:
1. The name of the substitute staff person;
2. The date of employment; and
3. A statement verifying that the criminal history record report has been obtained within 30 days of employment, is on file at the temporary agency, and does not contain barrier crimes.
This letter shall have the same maintenance and retention requirements of a criminal history record report.
B. Each criminal history record report shall be verified by the operator of the facility by matching the name, social security number and date of birth to establish that all information pertaining to the individual cleared through the Central Criminal Records Exchange is exactly the same as another form of identification such as a driver's license. If any of the information does not match, a new criminal history record request must be submitted to the Central Criminal Records Exchange with correct information.
C. A criminal history record report remains valid as long as the employee remains in continuous service at the same facility.
D. When an individual terminates employment at one facility and begins work at another facility, the criminal history record report secured for the prior facility shall not be valid for the new facility. A new criminal history record report and sworn statement or affirmation shall be required.
EXCEPTIONS:
1. When an employee transfers to a facility owned and operated by the same entity, with a lapse in service of not more than 30 days, a new criminal history record report shall not be required. The file at the previous facility shall contain a statement in the record of the former employee indicating that the original criminal history record report has been transferred or forwarded to the new location.
2. A criminal history record report for an individual who takes a leave of absence will remain valid as long as the period of separation does not exceed six consecutive months. Once a period of six consecutive months has expired, a new criminal history record report and sworn statement or affirmation are required.
