CHAPTER 353 An Act to amend the Code of Virginia by adding a section numbered 27-6.2, relating to fingerprinting of fire department applicants in Arlington County. [S 1227] Approved March 19, 2001

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 27-6.2 as follows:

§ 27-6.2. Applicant preemployment information.

Applicants for employment with the Arlington County Fire Department, having a local ordinance adopted in accordance with § 19.2-389, shall be required to submit to fingerprinting and to provide personal descriptive information to be forwarded along with the applicant's fingerprints through the Central Criminal Records Exchange and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the purpose of obtaining criminal history record information regarding such applicant; however, such applicants shall, if required by local ordinance, pay the cost of the fingerprinting or criminal records check or both.

The Central Criminal Records Exchange, upon receipt of an applicant's record or notification that no record exists, shall make a report to the fire chief or his designee. If an applicant is denied employment because of information appearing in his criminal history record, the locality shall provide a copy of the information obtained from the Central Criminal Records Exchange to the applicant. The information shall not be disseminated except as provided for in this section.
