                        A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to criminal offender information.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1.  { + (1) As used in this section, 'subject
individual' means a person who is being considered for employment
by the State Treasurer or for appointment to a board or
commission by the State Treasurer.
  (2) Upon request of the State Treasurer, the Department of
State Police shall furnish to the authorized staff of the State
Treasurer such information on a subject individual as the
department has in its possession from its central bureau of
criminal identification, including but not limited to manual or
computerized criminal offender information.
  (3) After receiving the information provided under subsection
(2) of this section, the State Treasurer may request the
department to conduct a nationwide criminal records check,
including fingerprint identification, through the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. The department shall report the results to the
State Treasurer.
  (4) The Federal Bureau of Investigation shall either return or
destroy the fingerprint cards used to conduct the criminal
records check and may not keep any record of the fingerprints. If
the federal bureau policy authorizing return or destruction of
the fingerprint cards changes, the department shall stop sending
the cards to the federal bureau but shall continue to process the
information through other available resources.
  (5) If the Federal Bureau of Investigation returns the
fingerprint cards to the department, the department shall return
the fingerprint cards to the State Treasurer. The State Treasurer
shall destroy the fingerprint cards and may not retain a
facsimile or other material from which a fingerprint can be
reproduced.
  (6) For purposes of receiving the information described in this
section, the State Treasurer is a designated agency under ORS
181.010 to 181.560 and 181.715 to 181.730 and the rules adopted
