The municipality may submit completed fingerprint cards to the Division of Criminal Investigation before the prospective new employee enters into service. Upon completion of the state and federal criminal background check, the Division of Criminal Investigation shall forward to the municipality all information obtained as a result of the check. Failure to submit or cooperate with the criminal background investigation is grounds for denial of an application.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2036393Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2036393000001"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="s2036393Normal"><span class="s2036393SCL">Source:</span><span xml:space="preserve" class="s2036393SCL-000002"> SL 2009, ch 36, § 1.</span></p></div></body></html>
