(a) Notwithstanding any other law, any statutory requirement for an entity subject to any statutory requirement for an entity to conduct a federal criminal history information check for licensing, certification, or employment purposes does not apply if the Federal Bureau of Investigation has not authorized the entity to conduct a federal criminal history information check under the applicable federal laws and regulations.
(b) Under these circumstances, an entity may make licensing, certification, or employment decisions based on the results of a state criminal history information check until the Federal Bureau of Investigation has authorized them to conduct a federal criminal history information check.
(c) If the Federal Bureau of Investigation authorizes an entity to conduct the federal criminal history information check, the entity shall require an applicant, licensee, certified individual, and employee who did not previously undergo the federal criminal history information check to resubmit their fingerprints for that purpose.
