    Senator Palumbo moved to amend the bill on page six, section three, lines eighty-three through ninety-nine, by striking out all of subsection (e) and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection, designated subsection (e), to read as follows:

    (e) Require any service provider whose employees are regularly employed on the grounds or in the buildings of the Capitol complex or who have access to sensitive or critical information submit to a fingerprint-based state and federal background inquiry through the state repository.

    (1) After the contract for such services has been approved, but before any such employees are permitted to be on the grounds or in the buildings of the Capitol complex or have access to sensitive or critical information, the service provider shall submit a list of all persons who will be physically present and working at the Capitol complex for purposes of verifying compliance with this section.

    (2) All current service providers shall, within 90 days of the amendment and reenactment of this section by the 80th Legislature, ensure that all of its employees who are providing services on the grounds or in the buildings of the Capitol complex or who have access to sensitive or critical information submit to a fingerprint-based state and federal background inquiry through the state repository.

    (3) Any contract entered into, amended or renewed by an agency or entity of state government with a service provider shall contain a provision reserving the right to prohibit specific employees thereof from accessing sensitive or critical information or to be present at the Capitol complex based upon results addressed from a criminal background check.

    (4) For purposes of this section, the term “service provider” means any person or company that provides employees to a state agency or entity of state government to work on the grounds or in the buildings that makeup the Capitol complex or who have access to sensitive or critical information.

    (5) In accordance with the provisions of Public Law 92-544 the criminal background check information will be released to the Director of the Division of Protective Services.
