(A) The director of the state lottery commission may refuse to enter into any contracts or agreements with vendors whose activities on behalf of the commission could potentially affect the integrity of the state lottery's on-line gaming system or instant ticket gaming system, if any principal of the vendor has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude or an offense involving illegal gambling or has been found guilty of fraud or misrepresentation in any manner.
(B) The director shall request the bureau of criminal identification and investigation, the department of public safety, or any other state, local, or federal agency to supply the director with the criminal records of any vendor with whom the commission is considering entering into a contract or agreement, and may periodically request such records of any vendor with whom the commission has entered into a contract or agreement.
