WAIVER AGREEMENT
AND
FBI PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Fingerprint-Based Record Checks for Noncriminal Justice Purposes
I hereby authorize the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts to submit a set of my fingerprints to the Kansas Bureau of
Investigation (KBI) for the purpose of identifying me and accessing and reviewing Kansas and/or national criminal history
records that may pertain to me. Pursuant to K.S.A. 22-4701 et seq. and K.S.A. 22-5001, the Authorized Recipient may
obtain my criminal history record information for noncriminal justice purposes. By signing this waiver, it is my intent to
authorize release to the above-referenced Authorized Recipient of any Kansas and/or national criminal history record that
may pertain to me. I further understand that, if applicable, the Authorized Recipient may choose to deny me unsupervised
access to children, the elderly, or individuals with disabilities until the criminal history background check is completed.
I understand that, upon my request, the Authorized Recipient will provide me a copy of the criminal history background
report, received on me, for the purpose to challenge the accuracy and completeness of any information contained in any such
report. I may be afforded a reasonable amount of time to correct or complete the criminal history record (or decline to do so)
before the Authorized Recipient makes a final decision about my status as an employee, volunteer or contractor, or my
eligibility for any pertinent license, certification or registration, or adoption. See 28 CFR 50.12(b).
I understand that officials receiving the results of the criminal history record check are to use those results only for authorized
purposes and are prohibited from retaining or disseminating such results in violation of federal statute, regulation or
executive order, or rule, procedure or standard established by the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council.
