The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall be authorized to require employees of the Commission in positions that have access to sensitive law enforcement data to supply all information and documentation required in order to be subjected to a criminal history search by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, as well as be fingerprinted for submission of the fingerprints through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a national criminal history check. The Commission shall be the recipient of the results of the record check.
No employee of the Commission shall be eligible to enroll in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Telecommunications System training course until the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have reported to the Commission that the person has no felony record and the Commission has reported to the Department of Public Safety that the applicant does not have a felony record and is not participating in a deferred sentence or deferred prosecution agreement for a felony. In accordance with Section 150.9 of Title 74 of the Oklahoma Statutes, this includes a national criminal history record with a fingerprint analysis.
The Commission shall request searches of the online and off-line files of the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), or any successor federal agency which supplies such information, to identify vehicles which have been reported stolen. Such searches will be requested only by Commission employees who have satisfied the background check provisions of this section.
The Commission is authorized to promulgate rules necessary to implement the provisions of this section.
