Equipment costs would include two AFIS workstations with user licenses. An unknown cost would be space requirements to accomodate these four staff members and their related equipment. |

| This legislation, while being broadly intended, will not permit any individual boards and commissions the ability to access criminal records under P.L. 92-544. Once a board/commission enacts a legislative rule more narrowly defining specific authorization under FBI established criteria, access to the checks would be granted. |
