Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 22
(By Senators Caruth, Barnes, K. Facemyer, Hall, McCabe,
Sypolt, Guills, Kessler, Boley, Foster, Stollings, D. Facemire
and Unger)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the
feasibility of a statewide database background check system.
Whereas, There exists a need for government and private
employers to have the ability and access to background
investigation checks on applicants for employment; and
Whereas, There are statutes in West Virginia that now provide
for background investigation checks on applicants for employment at
racetracks and such procedures should be available to state, county
and municipal government as well as the private sector; and
Whereas, The Criminal Identification Bureau of the West
Virginia State Police has a database that may be accessed by the 55
counties of the state and private sector employers in the counties;
and
Whereas, Developing the means for state, county and municipal
government as well as private employers to request background
investigation checks on applicants for employment in this time of
needed security is in the best interest of the citizens of the
state and could be readily established in the office of the circuit clerk of each county; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study the feasibility of a statewide database
background check system; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2010, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
