If prior to the commencement of the examination the examinee requests in writing that the examination be taped, an audio tape recording of the entire examination including pretest interviews shall be made. In the event that a test result shows that the examinee has been deceptive and the examinee has requested in writing that the examination be taped, the polygraph examiner shall keep the tape recording on file with other test results for a one-year period. The polygraph examiner shall inform the examinee that the tape recording and test results will be available to the examinee for inspection or copying during the one-year period.
Failure to tape record a preemployment examination pursuant to subsection (a) constitutes separate acts of examiner misconduct, which may result in revocation or suspension of the examiner's license by the commission.
The commission may, upon its own motion, and shall, upon the verified complaint in writing of any person setting forth a cause of action under this section, investigate and ascertain the facts and, if warranted, hold a hearing for reprimand or for the suspension or revocation of a license.
Complaints of alleged violations shall be filed in writing with the commission in a manner to be prescribed by the commission, and the commission shall prescribe the manner in which complaints shall be investigated.
All hearings shall be conducted pursuant to the requirements of the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5.
If a polygraph examiner is found guilty of any violation of this section, the commission shall impose penalties and fines for the violations, including, but not limited to:
For a first violation, six (6) months' suspension of the examiner's license and a five hundred dollar ($500) fine upon reapplication for a license. Section 62-27-115(b)(2) is applicable to reapplication;
