I hereby authorize the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Department’s designee that trains or tests health care workers,
a staffing agency, or the health care employer to request a fingerprint-based criminal history records check submitted as a fee
applicant inquiry requested by the Department. I further authorize the Illinois State Police (ISP) to release information relative
to the existence or nonexistence of any criminal record which it might have concerning me to the requestor solely to determine
my suitability for employment or continued employment. I further authorize any agency that maintains records relating to me,
including but not limited to the Federal Bureau of Investigation or a local unit of government, to provide same on request to the
ISP or the Department. I certify that the ISP and any agency, including the Department, their employees or officers who
furnish this information shall be held harmless from any and all liability which may be incurred as a result of releasing such
information. I further acknowledge that a health care employer shall not be liable for the failure to hire or retain an applicant or

Worker Background Check Act (225 ILCS 46/25).

the individuals involved, your age at the time of the offense, and any other circumstances surrounding the offense) as well as

those convictions or attach the complete results of a criminal history records check from that state. If you have a federal
conviction, you must provide information concerning that conviction or attach the complete results of a criminal history records
check from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. If more space is needed, please attach additional pages. Do not include
