I understand that, upon my request, the Authorized Recipient will provide me a copy of the criminal history background report, received on me, for the purpose of challenging the accuracy and completeness of any information contained in any such report. I may be afforded a reasonable amount of time to correct or complete the criminal history record (or decline to do so) before the Authorized Recipient makes a final decision about my status as an employee, volunteer or contractor, or my eligibility for any pertinent license, certification or registration, or adoption. See 28 CFR 50.12(b).

I understand that officials receiving the results of the criminal history record check are to use those results only for authorized purposes and are prohibited from retaining or disseminating such results in violation of federal statute, regulation or executive order, or rule, procedure or standard established by the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council See 5 United States Code (U.S.C.) 552a(b); 28 U.S.C. 534(b);34 U.S.C. 40136, Article IV(c); 28 CFR 20.21(c), 20.33(d), 906.2(d).), and 2022 Kansas Laws, Ch. 92, § 1 (Senate Sub. for H.B. 2495).

The Rap Back program will notify the Authorized Recipient when there are updates to my criminal history record. Once I am no longer employed, licensed, certified, or registered, the Authorized Recipient shall request my fingerprints be removed from the state and/or national Rap Back program.
