Section 11105.4 Of Article 3. Criminal Identification And Statistics From California Penal Code >> Title 1. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 3.
11105.4
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a contract
or proprietary security organization may request any criminal
history information concerning its prospective employees that may be
furnished pursuant to subdivision (n) of Section 11105.
(b) The Department of Justice shall promulgate regulations to
assure that criminal record information is not released to persons or
entities not authorized to receive the information under this
section.
(c) Any criminal history information obtained pursuant to this
section shall be subject to the same requirements and conditions that
the information is subject to when obtained by a human resource
agency or a bank.
(d) The Legislature finds that contract security organizations and
private security organizations often provide security service for
financial institutions and human resource agencies, and,
consequently, they have the same need for criminal history
information as do those entities. Therefore, the Legislature intends
to provide authority for contract security organizations and
proprietary security organizations to obtain criminal history
information to the extent that financial institutions and human
resource agencies have that authority concerning their own employees.
(e) As used in this section, "contract security organization"
means a person, business, or organization licensed to provide
services as a private patrol operator, as defined in subdivision (a)
of Section 7582.1 of the Business and Professions Code.
As used in this section, "proprietary security organization" means
an organization within a business entity that has the primary
responsibility of protecting the employees and property of its
employer, and which allocates a substantial part of its annual budget
to providing security and protective services for its employer,
including providing qualifying and in-service training to members of
the organization.
(f) Any criminal history information obtained pursuant to this
section is confidential and no recipient shall disclose its contents
other than for the purpose for which it was acquired.
