Section 1800.1240 - Fingerprinting Requirements

All fingerprinting conducted under the provisions of this Subpart L by a livescan vendor shall comply with the following requirements:

a) The vendor shall use only equipment that is certified by the Department as meeting its requirements for inkless fingerprint collection.

b) The vendor shall electronically transmit the fingerprints and other data required by the Department through a secure network within one business day after the fingerprints are collected.

c) The vendor shall comply with all Electronic Fingerprint Submission Specifications (EFSS) of the Department (http://www.isp.state.il.us/docs/9-054.pdf) and all Electronic Fingerprint Transmission Specifications standards of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (http://fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/iafis/efts70/ cover.htm).

d) Fingerprints may be taken and transmitted only by livescan technicians who have had a fingerprint-based criminal history records check and have not been convicted of crimes that, if committed by a person seeking licensure under the Act, would constitute a statutory disqualification for licensure. The Board may, in its discretion, disqualify individuals from taking fingerprints who have been convicted of crimes that, if committed by a person seeking licensure under the Act, would serve as a discretionary basis for license disqualification.

e) Fingerprints shall be collected directly from the person's hand and shall consist of 10 rolled impressions and 10 slap impressions in a format acceptable to the Department.

f) The vendor shall archive (store, back up, retrieve, etc.) the fingerprints transmitted to the Department in a secure and retrievable manner. Upon expiration or termination of the contract, the vendor shall provide the stored data to the Department in a format requested by the Department.

g) The vendor shall provide a single point of contact through which the Board or Department may contact the vendor.

h) If a person's fingerprints are rejected by the Department, the vendor shall collect a second or subsequent set of fingerprints. The vendor shall not charge for collecting the second or subsequent set of fingerprints.
