Pen. Code, § 11105.02

In addition to furnishing state summary criminal history information to the persons and entities set forth in Section 11105 and subject to the requirements and conditions set forth in that section, the Attorney General shall furnish state summary criminal history information upon a showing of a compelling need to any city, county, city and county, or district, or any officer or official thereof, when needed to assist in the screening of a prospective concessionaire and their affiliates or associates, as these terms are defined in subdivision (k) of Section 432.7 of the Labor Code for purposes of consenting to, or approving of, the prospective concessionaire’s application for, or acquisition of, any beneficial interest in a concession, lease, or other property interest.

Any local government’s request for state summary criminal history information for purposes of screening a prospective concessionaire and their affiliates or associates before approving or denying an application for, or acquisition of, any beneficial interest in a concession, lease, or other property interest is deemed a “compelling need” as required by this section. However, only state summary criminal history information pertaining to criminal convictions, or to arrests for offenses for which the person being screened is incarcerated or has been released on bail or on his or her own recognizance pending trial, may be obtained pursuant to this section.

Any information obtained from the state summary criminal history information is confidential and the receiving local government shall not disclose its contents, other than for the purpose for which it was acquired. The state summary criminal history information in the possession of the local government and all copies made from it shall be destroyed not more than 30 days after the local government’s final decision to grant or deny consent to, or approval of, the prospective concessionaire’s application for, or acquisition of, a beneficial interest in a concession, lease, or other property interest. Nothing in this section shall be construed as imposing any duty upon a local government, or any officer or official thereof, to request state summary criminal history information on any current or prospective concessionaire or the affiliates or associates of that concessionaire.
