(b) Department Access to Criminal History Record Information.
(1) The department is entitled to obtain criminal history information maintained by the Department of Public
Safety, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Identification Division, or any other law enforcement agency to investigate and determine the EMS certification eligibility of a person who has filed a petition for a preenrollment criminal history prescreening or an initial Admission for EMS certification or a reciprocity

(3) With respect to a prescreening petitioner or an applicant for EMS certification or licensure who has a criminal history record, the department is authorized to close a petition or Admission file and deem that the petition or Admission is withdrawn when the petitioner or applicant has failed to respond to the department's request(s) for information during its prescreening or investigation within 60 days of said request(s).
(c) Petition for Criminal History Prescreening. The department may provide a prescreening criminal history record check for persons interested in pursuing an EMS certification or licensure to determine the person's eligibility for certification before enrolling in an EMS educational or training program approved by the department.

(1) submit a completed Petition for Criminal History Prescreening form;
(2) submit a nonrefundable fee of $50;
(3) complete and return all Criminal History Prescreening documents provided to the petitioner by the department and timely provide documents and information requested by the department;

(5) submit or arrange for submission of all court documentation to the department, including final court orders noting sentencing information, conditions of probation, releases from probation, revocation of probation, and any other information relating to the petitioner's criminal history, or other information requested by the department;
(6) shall inform the department of any new court actions or petitioner's criminal activities that have developed or become a part of his or her criminal history, to include, but not be limited to, any new arrests, criminal charges or indictments, criminal investigations, motions to revoke probation, etc. since filing the prescreening petition with the department; and/or
(7) be subject to a department criminal history investigation, if and when the petitioner subsequently files an

(1) may not require an applicant to provide any unchanged criminal history information already included in one or more of the applicant's previously filed initial or renewal Admissions for EMS certification or paramedic licensure; and
(2) may require the applicant to provide only new information relevant to the period occurring since the date of the applicant's last initial or renewal Admission for EMS certification or paramedic licensure, including information relevant to any new department requirement applicable to the certification or license held by the applicant.
