SUMMARY:

Criminal records checks of certain employees. Directs the Commissioner of Health to require, as a condition of employment, applicants accepting employment on and after July 1, 1996, whether full-time or part-time, permanent, or temporary, for a position providing access to documents or materials essential to investigations of the Chief Medical Examiner or to protected and confidential records, such as vital records and HIV test files, 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 to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the purpose of obtaining criminal history record information regarding such applicant. If an applicant is denied employment because of information appearing on his criminal history record, the Commissioner shall provide to the applicant a copy of the information obtained from the Central Criminal Records Exchange. The applicant must pay for the fingerprinting and records check. In addition, an applicant must disclose any criminal convictions or pending criminal charges; making a materially false statement regarding these convictions or charges may result in denial of the employment application or termination of employment.
