SECTION 375:9-1-5. Obtaining criminal history record

(a)   A requestor may not seek a national criminal history record unless there is a statutory requirement underlying the request which provides that a national or FBI criminal history records check may be conducted for a particular governmental purpose.

(b)   The OSBI provides specific informational services to the public in processing criminal history records. OSBI employees receive and process requests which have all the necessary information for conducting the search. When OSBI delivers the results of a criminal records check to a requestor, OSBI employees shall explain the elements of the record for the requestor. OSBI employees will refer the requestor to the arresting agency for additional information. OSBI employees shall not give advice to the requestor about how the criminal history information applies to the requestor's reason or purpose in obtaining the record. The requestor must use his or her discretion, seek counsel on the issue from the office which gave rise to the request, and analyze any laws and regulations which may apply to the requestor's purpose.
