An applicant for employment with the office, or an applicant for employment with a participating agency for a position as information technology staff, may be subject to a background investigation by the office. The background investigation may include, without limitation, a work history, financial review, request for criminal history data, and national criminal history check through the federal bureau of investigation. In addition, a contractor, vendor, employee, or any other individual performing work for the office, or an individual on the information technology staff of a participating agency, may be subject to a national criminal history check through the federal bureau of investigation at least once every ten years, including, without limitation, any time the office or participating agency has reason to believe an individual has been convicted of a crime. The office may request the national criminal history check and, if requested, shall provide the individual’s fingerprints to the department of public safety for submission through the state criminal history repository to the federal bureau of investigation. The individual shall authorize release of the results of the national criminal history check to the office and the applicable participating agency. The office shall pay the actual cost of the fingerprinting and national criminal history check, if any, unless otherwise agreed as part of a contract between the office or participating agency and a vendor or contractor performing work for the office or participating agency. The results of a criminal history check conducted pursuant to this section shall not be considered a public record under chapter 22.
