FINGERPRINT BACKGROUND WAIVER
As an applicant who is the subject of a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprint-based criminal history record check for a noncriminal justice purpose
you have certain rights which are discussed below.
1. You must be notified by the Nevada State Contractors Board that your fingerprints will be used to check the criminal history records of the FBI
and the State of Nevada.
2. If you have a crim
inal history record, the officials making a determination of your suitability for the job, license or other benefit for which you are
applying must provide you the opportunity to complete or challenge the accuracy of the information in the record. You may review and challenge the
accuracy of any and all criminal history records which are returned to the submitting agency. The proper forms and procedures will be furnished to
you by the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Records Bureau upon request. If you decide to challenge the accuracy or completeness of you FBI
criminal history record, Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 16.34 provides for the proper procedure to do so:
16.34 - Procedure to obtain change, correction or updating of identification records.
If, after reviewing his/her identification record, the subject thereof believes that it is incorrect or incomplete in any respect and wishes
changes, corrections or updating of the alleged deficiency, he/she should make application directly to the agency which contributed the
questioned information. The subject of a record may also direct his/her challenge as to the accuracy or completeness of any entry on his/her
record to the FBI, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division ATTN: SCU, Mod. D-2, 1000 Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, WV
26306. The FBI will then forward the challenge to the agency which submitted the data requesting that agency to verify or correct the
challenged entry. Upon the receipt of an official communication directly from the agency which contributed the original information, the FBI
CJIS Division will make any changes necessary in accordance with the information supplied by that agency.
3. Based on 28 CFR § 50.12 (b), officials making such determinations should not deny the license or employment based on information in the record
until the applicant has been afforded a reasonable time to correct or complete the record or has declined to do so.
4. You have the r
ight to expect that officials receiving the results of the fingerprint-based criminal history record check will use it only for authorized
purposes and will not retain or disseminate it in violation of federal or state statute, regulation or executive order, or rule, procedure or standard
established by the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council.
