A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to the submission of fingerprints with an application to
  the Texas Private Security Board.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 1702.282(a), Occupations Code, is
  amended to read as follows:
         (a)  The board shall conduct a criminal history check,
  including a check of any criminal history record information
  maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in the manner
  provided by Subchapter F, Chapter 411, Government Code, on each
  applicant for a license, registration, security officer
  commission, letter of approval, permit, endorsement, or
  certification.  As part of its criminal history check, the board
  may request that the applicant provide certified copies of relevant
  court documents or other records.  The failure to provide the
  requested records within a reasonable time as determined by the
  board may result in the application being considered
  incomplete.  An applicant is not eligible for a license,
  registration, commission, letter of approval, permit, endorsement,
  or certification if the check reveals that the applicant has
  committed an act that constitutes grounds for the denial of the
  license, registration, commission, letter of approval, permit,
  endorsement, or certification.  Except as provided by Subsection
  (d), each applicant shall submit at the time of application[,
  including an application] for [the renewal of] a license,
  registration, commission, letter of approval, permit, endorsement,
  or certification[,] fingerprints in the manner prescribed by the
  board accompanied by the fee set by the board.
         SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
  a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
  provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution.  If this
  Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
  Act takes effect on the 91st day after the last day of the
  legislative session.
