   A.   Pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-3008, the City is authorized to perform and/or request criminal history checks of any applicant volunteer service or employment, including current employee transfers and promotions within the City. If a criminal history check is needed through the Federal Bureau of Investigation to screen an applicant or volunteer, the Department of Human Resources shall require each specified applicant or volunteer to be fingerprinted and shall forward the fingerprints through the Idaho Department of Law Enforcement to the FBI Identification Division for a criminal history check. Unless otherwise provided for by law, criminal history records shall not be disseminated to a private entity.

   B.   The Department of Human Resources shall develop guidelines for determining what positions for employment and volunteer service will require a background check and fingerprinting. The guidelines will include those factors reasonably related to the requirements of that position which may result in an applicant's disqualification for employment or volunteer service as a result of past criminal activities.
