HB35 would require polygraph examiner licensure applicants to submit fingerprint sets, undergo state and national background checks, and pay the related costs.
The bill adds fingerprinting and background check requirements to the licensure process for polygraph examiners, including sending fingerprints to the State Bureau of Investigation and the FBI for national checks. Applicants must provide written consent for sharing their background information with the Board of Polygraph Examiners and cover all related costs. The Board would use this information to assess qualifications and may disclose it only as needed to deny licensure or when subpoenaed.
