  7. Privacy Act Statement:
    1. Authority: Acquisition, preservation, and exchange of fingerprints and associated information by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is generally authorized under 28 U.S.C. 534. Depending on the nature of your application, supplemental authorities include Federal statutes, State statutes pursuant to Pub. L. 92-544, Presidential Executive Orders, and federal regulations. Providing your fingerprints and associated information is voluntary; however, failure to do so may affect completion or approval of your application.
    2. Principal Purpose: Certain determinations, such as employment, licensing, and security clearances, may be predicated on fingerprint-based background checks. Your fingerprints and associated information/biometrics may be provided to the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency, and/or the FBI for the purpose of comparing your fingerprints to other fingerprints in the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system or its successor systems (including civil, criminal, and latent fingerprint repositories) or other available records of the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency. The FBI may retain your fingerprints and associated information/biometrics in NGI after the completion of this application and, while retained, your fingerprints may continue to be compared against other fingerprints submitted to or retained by NGI.
    3. Routine Uses: During the processing of this application and for as long thereafter as your fingerprints and associated information/biometrics are retained in NGI, your information may be disclosed pursuant to your consent, and may be disclosed without your consent as permitted by the Privacy Act of 1974 and all applicable Routine Uses as may be published at any time in the Federal Register, including Routine Uses for the NGI system and the FBI’s Blanket Routine Uses. Routine Uses include, but are not limited to, disclosures to: employing, governmental or authorized non-governmental agencies responsible for employment, contracting, licensing, security clearances, and other suitability determinations; local, state, tribal, or federal law enforcement agencies; criminal justice agencies; and agencies responsible for national security or public safety.

The subject of a record may also direct his/her challenge as to the accuracy or completeness of any entry on his/her record to the FBI, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, ATTN: SCU, Mod. D2, 1000 Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, WV 26306. The FBI will then forward the challenge to the agency which submitted the data requesting that agency to verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon the receipt of an official communication directly from the agency which contributed the original information, the FBI CJIS Division will make any changes necessary in accordance with the information supplied by that agency. (28 CFR § 16.34) i. Consent: I understand that my personal information and biometric data being submitted by Live Scan, will be used to search against identification records from both the Michigan State Police (MSP) and the FBI for the purpose listed above.

Part 3- Employment Applicant Disclosure Statements

MCL 333.20173a, MCL 330.1134a, and MCL 400.734b, subsections (1)(a) through (g) describe crimes forwhich a conviction during the applicable time period will disqualify a person from being employed by, independently contracting with, or being granted clinical privileges in a covered health care facility/agency or AFC.

The above laws define “conviction” as, “… a final conviction, the payment of a fine, a plea of guilty or nolo contendere (no contest) if accepted by the court, or a finding of guilt for a criminal law violation or a juvenile adjudication or disposition by the juvenile division of probate court or family division of circuit court for a violation that if committed by an adult would be a crime.” For relevant crimes described under 42-USC 1320a-7(a), convicted means that term as defined in 42-USC 1320a-7. These definitions may include cases that resulted in an alternative sentencing agreement, including deferred or delayed sentences, and for relevant crimes under 42-USC 1320a-(7)(a), convictions which may have been expunged or set aside.

I hereby certify that:

  1. I have not been convicted of 1 or more of the crimes described in subsection (1)(a) through (g) of MCL 333.20173a, MCL 330.1134a, or MCL 400.734b within the applicable time period described in each subdivision.
  2. I have never been found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity.
  3. I have never been the subject of a substantiated finding of neglect, abuse, or misappropriation of property resulting from an investigation conducted in accordance with 42 USC 1395i or 1396r.

Part 4- Conditional Employment

If the health facility/agency or AFC determines it necessary to employ me pending the results of the state and federal criminal history background check, I understand the following:

  1. If the background check reveals disqualifying information my employment will be terminated for good cause, unless and until I successfully prove that the disqualifying information is inaccurate, expunged, or set aside.
  2. If I knowingly provided false information regarding my identity, criminal convictions, or substantiated findings of patient or resident neglect, abuse, or misappropriation of property, I may be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days and/or a fine of not more than $500.00.
  3. I understand that as a condition of continued employment, I am required to report in writing to the health facility/agency or AFC immediately upon being arraigned on a felony charge or convicted of one of more of the criminal offenses as described in MCL 333.20173a, MCL 330.1134a, and MCL 400.734b, or upon becoming the subject of an order or dispositional finding of “Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity,” or upon being the subject of a state or federal agency substantiated finding of patient or resident neglect, abuse, or misappropriation of property. Reporting of an arraignment is not cause for termination or denial of employment.

Part 5- Applicants Rights

  1. I understand that upon my request, the health facility/agency or AFC can provide a copy of any disqualifying record information found on any of the relevant registries or databases.
  2. I understand that if I believe the results of any disqualifying information found of any relevant registry is inaccurate, it is my responsibility to contact the agency that maintains the registry to correct the registry information.
  3. I understand that if I believe the results of the criminal history fingerprint record are inaccurate, or if the conviction contained in the criminal history record is one that may be expunged or set aside, I may file an appeal with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.

Part 6- Disclaimer

The state of Michigan is not responsible for any additional information, requirements, or use of any substitute forms that the above-named health facility/agency or AFC provides to the applicant.

Consent

I understand that my personal information and biometric data being submitted by Live Scan, will be used to search against identification records from both the Michigan State Police (MSP) and the FBI for the purpose listed above. I hereby authorize the release of my personal information for such purposes and release of any records found to the authorized requesting agency listed above.
